[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][G][D][C]
[Em]
This [D]is a story 'bout a taxi ride

[Verse 1]
[G]
I can't [C]forget

[Verse 2]
It was [Em]autumn in Minnesota,
[D]it [G]was rainy, cold [C]and wet

[Verse 3]
So I [Am]hopped into the first [Em]cab that [D]I saw

[Verse 4]
The [Am]heater was on but [Em]the chill
just wouldn't [D]thaw

[Verse 5]
The [Em]driver of [D]the cab he had
[G]a pock marked [C]face

[Verse 6]
[Em]He didn't seem too unfriendly,
[D]he was just star[G]in' off into [C]space
[Am]And he told me that he used [Em]to drive a truck

[Verse 7]
[D]And that right now[Am] he was
[Em]down on [D]his luck

[Verse 8]
We [Em]talked a bit about travelin',
[D]told him tha[G]t I'd been to [C]the USS[Em]R
He looked at me in the [D]rear
view mirror and said
[G]"Ain't that where the Jews
and [C]commies are?"

[Verse 9]
[Am]And I knew I was in for a he[Em]ll of a ride
[D]My [Am]face was calm but I was [Em]burnin' up inside,
[D]oh yeah

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][C][G][D][C]

[Verse 10]
[Em]He told me he ha[D]d a dream to go to
[G]a place free from niggers and Jew[C]s

[Verse 11]
[Em]"Austria?," I aske[D]d out loud,
[G]as I stared down at my shoes
[C]Then

[Verse 12]
[Am]he s[Em]aid, "That's exactly right[D]"

[Verse 13]
He [Am]said, "Hey man,
ain't [Em]you proud to [D]be white?"
[Em]I played along with him a bi[D]t, I said
[G]"What do you mean? I'm not
quite [C]sure"

[Verse 14]
[Em]
That's when he told [D]me how much
[G]he admired the[C] Fuh[Am]rer
We drove on [Em]through the
Minnetonka [D]Pines

[Verse 15]
[Am]And the rain it started freez[Em]in' on the highway [D]signs,

[Interlude 2]
oh yeah
[G][D][C][G][D][C]
[G][D][C][G][D][C]

[Verse 16]
[Em]Then I said,
"Don't you think [D]it was wrong
[G]I mean, gassin' all them Jew[C]s?"
[Em]And he told me Hitler's only[D]

[Verse 17]
Fault was that he [G]had to go and
[C]lose [Am]a war that should have
[Em]Set the white man free

[Verse 18]
[D]to inherit[Am]
the entire earth [Em]as his de[D]stiny

[Verse 19]
Then [Em]he started fishin' for a cassette
[D]tape that he'd got[G]ten in
A special [C]class

[Verse 20]
[Em]and on it some teach[D]er
was talkin' about des[G]troyin'
The Jews [C]at last

[Verse 21]
[Am]and about how
they [Em]were all [D]to blame

[Verse 22]
For every prob[Am]lem that
[Em]you could ever n[D]ame

[Verse 23]
[Em]I stared out my window,[D]
[G]started thinkin' about [C]my life[Em]
Thinkin' about my chil[D]dren,

[Verse 24]
[G]
thinkin' about [C]my wife
[Am]And I wondered how much [Em]more
could I [D]endure

[Verse 25]
[Am]Of the hatred so [Em]na ked and so pure

[Interlude 3]
[D][G]
[D][C][G][D][C]
[G][D][C][G][D][C]

[Verse 26]
[Em]When we got to my brother's hous[D]e
I even [G]tipped him a dollar [C]or two

[Verse 27]
[Em]And I was wonderin' if he'd known all[D]
along that his [G]passenger was [C]a Jew

[Verse 28]
[Am]I just stared at my [Em]breath
in the freezin' [D]night

[Verse 29]
That's when [Am]my brother came to t[Em]he door and put on t[D]he light,

[Interlude 4]
oh yeah
[G][D][C][G][D][C]
[G][D][C][G][D][C]

[Verse 30]
[D]Don't tell me childre[Em]n,
de[C]file your [G]dreams

[Verse 31]
Our [D]heads are still [Em]pounding from
[C]the sound of their screams
[G]And the

[Verse 32]
[D]blood is still [Em]flow
ing down [C]European stream[G]s

[Verse 33]
And it's [D]you who have no [Em]right to call
your[C]self a human be[G]ing

[Verse 34]
Here [D]I am, [C]in a taxi cab with a cut
rate Aryan
[Em][G][C][G]

[Verse 35]
[C]
[Em]I spent the next morni[D]ng with a man
who [G]had death camp numbers

[Verse 36]
[G]On [C]his arm [Em]and I swore to myself
[D]I would do anything to pro[G]tect him
From further [C]harm and he

[Verse 37]
[Am]told me
[Em]wherever you may [D]go

[Verse 38]
You must refute [Am]them if they say [Em]it wasn't s[D]o,
