Verse 1
Smoky Mountain (G major) Taxi
I (C major) caught (G major) a taxi in (D major) the old Smoky
Mountains
(G major) I had to (C major) get to (G major) the airport before ten (D major) o 'clock
I had to (C major) check out (G major) of my
(D major) funky motel (G major) room
And the (C major) nearest (G major) bus station
was a (D major) ten -mile walk (G major)
Well, a taxi (C major) cab (G major) pulled up
(D major) and the driver stepped (G major) out
She wore a pink (C major) shirt and
(G major) black slacks
and some cheap perfume
(D major) There was holes (C major) in her smile
(G major) an (D major) d she talked kinda (G major) raspy
She was sheep (C major) -like,
the (G major) sister of (D major) old Earthquake (G major) Mc Goon
Well, (C major) the sunrise (G major) was hazy
and my (D major) suitcase was heavy
(G major) She (C major) lit up (G major) a smoke
while my shoulder blade (D major) sags
She said, I'll (C major) take you (G major) as far
as (D major) the Hickory Airport
(G major) But (C major) I ain't gettin' (G major) paid to (D major) carry your bag (G major) s
I took a two (C major) -hour tax (G major) i
through (D major) North Carolin (G major) a
I heard more (C major) bluegrass (G major) mu sic
than I wanted to (D major) hear
And the big (C major) lady (G major) driver
(D major) had a tattoo of Je (G major) sus
Said, let the good (C major) Lord (G major) bless you
(D major) an d keep you, (G major) dear
Said, let the good (C major) Lord (G major) bless you
(D major) an d keep you, (G major) dear
Well, the (C major) cab smelled (G major) like menthol
and the (D major) floorboard was dirty
(G major) Styrofoam cups and old cigar (D major) ettes
She said, I (C major) hope that (G major) my daughter
don't (D major) pick up my habit
(G major) She's (C major) just nine (G major) years old and
(D major) way too young yet (C major) (G major)
Well, I looked (C major) out the win (G major) dow
at (D major) the old Smoky Mountain (G major) s
While she sang (C major) high (G major) harmony
with Charlie Monroe
(D major) And the air (C major) smelled like (G major) hickory
(D major) mixed in with them (G major) menthols
Both sides (C major) of the (G major) highway
(D major) was covered in (G major) snow
She said, (C major) most of (G major) my family
lives (D major) in an old trailer
(G major) But my husband hauls diesel,
so he ain't on (D major) relief
And I (C major) pictured (G major) him somewhere
in (D major) some lonely truck (G major) stop
He's a (C major) -hittin' on (G major) a waitress
with a good set of teeth
I took a two (C major) -hour tax (G major) i
through (D major) North Carolina
(G major) I heard more (C major) bluegrass (G major) mu sic
than I wanted to (D major) hear
The big (C major) lady driver (G major)
had (D major) a tattoo of (G major) Je sus
Said, let the good (C major) Lord (G major) bless you
(D major) an d keep you, my (G major) dear
Said, let the good (C major) Lord (G major) bless you
(D major) an d keep you, my (G major) dear
Well, I reached for my wallet
as we (D major) pulled in the airport
(G major) She (C major) blew me (G major) a kiss while
she counted the (D major) cost
When (C major) she pulled (G major) away,
there was (D major) mandolins playing (E minor)
(C major) With the smoke from the
(G major) menthol
and the tailpipe (D major) (G major) ex haust
And when she drove off,
it (D major) sounded something (G major) like this. (D major) (G major) (B flat major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (B flat major)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(B flat major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(B flat major) (G major) (C major) (E flat major)
(D major) (G major)
Thank you very
