Written by Ian Anderson
Transcribed by Arend Raifsnider

Bear with me, this is my first tab ever.

Little intro thingie:

e: |----
b" |----
g: |4s16
d: |----
a: |----
e: |----
Taxi!

Riff 1: about 8x

e: |-----------7--------
b: |-10b12-8------------
g: |--------9-9-9s7-7-9-
d: |------------9s7-7-9-
a: |------------7s5-5-7-
e: |-------------------- 

[B]Shake a leg....[B]
[B]Can't find a ....... [B]
Bo[B]dies jammed....[B]
[B]Evacuating ..... [B]

Riff 2:

e: |-----------------------
b: |-----------------------
g: |-------9b119-7---------
d: |----7-9-------7-7---7-9
a: |-7h9-------------7h9---
e: |----------------------- 

[B]Nowhere to.... [B]
[B]As the big store....[B].
[B]Red lights....[B]
[B]Stop, step.... [B]

Over the previous verse, some slide playing comes in:

e: |--------------- 

b: |-3v-3s4-3v-3s12

g: |---------------
d: |---------------
a: |---------------
e: |--------------- 

Riff 2

[B5]Tea[B5]time call[E5]s..[G5]..[A5]
[G5]Open at [G5]sev[A5]en..[A5].. [B5]

With similar slide playing over that

Riff 2 with a B chord stuck in there.

Riff 1

More verses, then a solo rooted at(I think) the 7th fret

Some jamming, an outro with Riff 2.

Then it comes back in with something like:

e: |-------------------
b: |-------------------
g: |-7h9-9-11-9-9---7h9
d: |-------------7h9---
a: |-------------------
e: |------------------- 

Toy around with that. Fun song, huh?
Martin Barre is an underrated player! Boost his legend!
