G minorGm         FF        Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
 This is a story 'bout a taxi ride I can't forget
    G minorGm       FF      Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
It was autumn in Minnesota, it was rainy, cold and wet
    C minorCm       G minorGm       FF
So I hopped into the first cab that I saw
   C minorCm          G minorGm         FF
The heater was on but the chill just wouldn't thaw

  G minorGm      FF      Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
The driver of the cab he had a pock marked face
G minorGm          FF           Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
He didn't seem too unfriendly, he was just starin' off into space
    C minorCm       G minorGm       FF
And he told me that he used to drive a truck
     C minorCm        G minorGm     FF
And that right now he was down on his luck

  G minorGm         FF              Bb majorBb       E minorEm
We talked a bit about travelin', told him that I'd been to the USSR
G minorGm           FF
He looked at me in the rear view mirror and said
Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb
"Ain't that where the Jews and commies are??
C minorCm            G minorGm      FF
And I knew I was in for a hell of a ride
  C minorCm           G minorGm      FF
My face was calm but I was burnin' up inside, oh yeah

Bb majorBb  FF  Eb MajorEb  Eb MajorEb (x2)

G minorGm         FF        Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
He told me he had a dream to go to a place free from niggers and Jews
G minorGm      FF          Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
"Austria?," I asked out loud, as I stared down at my shoes
C minorCm     G minorGm           FF
Then he said, "That's exactly right?
    C minorCm          G minorGm      FF
He said, "Hey man, ain't you proud to be white??

G minorGm         FF         Bb majorBb
I played along with him a bit, I said
                 Eb MajorEb
"What do you mean? I'm not quite sure?
G minorGm       FF        Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
That's when he told me how much he admired the Fuhrer
C minorCm           G minorGm       FF
We drove on through the Minnetonka Pines
    C minorCm       G minorGm            FF
And the rain it started freezin' on the highway signs, oh yeah

[Bridge]
Bb majorBb  FF  Eb MajorEb  Eb MajorEb (4x)

G minorGm           FF
Then I said, "Don't you think it was wrong
    Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb
I mean, gassin' all them Jews?"
G minorGm           FF           Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
And he told me Hitler's only fault was that he had to go and lose
C minorCm          G minorGm          FF
A augmentedA war that should have set the white man free
   C minorCm        G minorGm         FF
To inherit the entire earth as his destiny

        G minorGm            FF      Bb majorBb
Then he started fishin' for a cassette tape that he'd gotten in a
      Eb MajorEb
special class
G minorGm       FF              Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
And on it some teacher was talkin' about destroyin? the Jews at last
C minorCm           G minorGm   FF
And about how they were all to blame
     C minorCm      G minorGm       FF
For every problem that you could ever name

G minorGm         FF      Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
I stared out my window, started thinkin' about my life
G minorGm           FF  Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
Thinkin' about my children, thinkin' about my wife
C minorCm             G minorGm       FF
And I wondered how much more could I endure
    C minorCm    G minorGm      FF
Of the hatred so naked and so pure

[Bridge]
Bb majorBb  FF  Eb MajorEb  Eb MajorEb (4x)

G minorGm             FF      Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb
When we got to my brother's house I even tipped him a dollar or two
G minorGm             FF            Bb majorBb
And I was wonderin' if he'd known all along that his passenger was a
 Eb MajorEb
Jew
   C minorCm       G minorGm           FF
I just stared at my breath in the freezin' night
       C minorCm         G minorGm          FF
That's when my brother came to the door and put on the light, oh yeah

FF       G minorGm     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
Don?t tell me children, defile your dreams
  FF         G minorGm        Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
Our heads are still pounding from the sound of their screams
    FF       G minorGm      Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
And the blood is still flowing down European streams
     FF        G minorGm        Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
And it's you who have no right to call yourself a human being
    FF    Eb MajorEb              G minorGm
Here I am, in a taxi cab with a cut rate Aryan

[Bridge]
Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb

G minorGm        FF             Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb
I spent the next morning with a man who had death camp numbers on his arm
G minorGm        FF               Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb
n? I swore to myself I would do anything to protect him from further harm
    C minorCm   G minorGm        FF
And he told me wherever you may go
      C minorCm        G minorGm      FF
You must refute them if they say it wasn't so, huh
