[C] Cab driver, drive by Mary’s [G] place. I just want a chance to see her [C] face. Never mind the meter, let it [F] race. Cab [G] driver, drive by Mary’s [C] place.

[C] Cab driver, once more ’round the [G] block. Never mind the tickin’ of the [C] clock. I only wish we could have had a [F] talk. Cab [G] driver, once more ’round the [C] block.

[C] Cab driver, once more down the [G] street. There’s a little place we used to [C] eat. That’s where I laid my future at her [F] feet. Cab [G] driver, once more down the [C] street.

[C] Cab driver, wait here by the [G] door. Perhaps I’ll hold her in my arms once [C] more. Then things will be just like they were [F] before. Cab [G] driver, wait here by the [C] door.

[C] Cab driver, better take me [G] home. I guess that I was meant to be [C] alone. I hope God sends me a loved one of my [F] own. Cab [G] driver, better take me [C] home [F] [C]
