The Birmingham Ho chords by Morten Abel

OK...Taxi!

Em                                   D
I met this girl in a Birmingham taxi

I got it first, but she slipped in before me

C                                     D
Just as I was telling her, hey this is mine 'ho

She already told the cab driver where to go



G                               Em
Me I always show respect for the ladies

                      C
I sat back and let her have it her way

D
So good lord sees me through darkness and light

I tell you what I remembered from that night



Em                                                  D
I'm hungry, do you fancy a little something to eat?

 I can't go on forever on Cognac and weed

C                                               D
But she was already on the way down in the seat

I tried to stop her, or maybe I didn't



G
So there I was in a strange situation

Em                                C
The chauffeur said I can drop you off at the station

        D
I said no man, no don't

I tell you when to stop keep your eyes on the road



          Em                       D                 C
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK

                Am                     G                  Bm C

          D
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK



Em                                  D
Two hours later, she was still at it

The driver had to refill gasoline and shit

C
Baby baby, introduce yourself

D
What's your name, girl?



          G
My name is Fred

Fred?

Fred, yeah



Em             C
Fred, a'what a'what did you say?

D
Now that put me back a bit 'cos I'm not gay

Now that put me back a bit 'cos I'm not gay



          Em                       D                 C

       G                                                D
So whatever kind of trouble you might get yourself into

       C                                            D
Just think of me that night and what I went through

                 G                                          D
I thought it was Helen or Marie or whatever, giving me head

         C                                       D
Until I realised it was this dude called Fred ... Hello



                           G
And that was a Birmingham Ho

              D
Hey, ho hey, ho hey

                          G
And that was a Birmingham Ho

                  D
Hey, ho hey, ho hey, ho hey

Take it away now..



Em (Her kan du strengt tatt holde (Em) hele veien frem til refrenget,
men vers grepene funker også greit)



Hold on a minute, that's bullshit

You told me it was a microphone

And you wanted me to sing in it

I have a lot of friends and I do lots of things for them

I don't think it's me, I think it's you that have a problem

So zip up and try to be a gentleman

I have feelings too and I don't need you to hurt them

So zip up and try to be a gentleman

So zip up and try to be a gentleman



          Em                       D                 C
