"Taxi Grab", 
from Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll, Too Young to Die! 
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                       B 
Shake a leg....
B               	   B 
Can't find a ....... 
  B                     B 
Bodies jammed....
B                       B 
Evacuating ..... 

Riff 2: 
e: |----------------------- 
b: |----------------------- 
g: |-------9b119-7--------- 
d: |----7-9-------7-7---7-9 
a: |-7h9-------------7h9--- 
e: |----------------------- 

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

Over the previous verse, some slide playing comes in: 

e: |--------------- 
b: |-3v-3s4-3v-3s12 
g: |--------------- 
d: |--------------- 
a: |--------------- 
e: |--------------- 

Riff 2 

B5 B5       E5 G5 A5 
Teatime calls....
G5      G5 A5  A5   B5 
Open at seven.... 
  

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!
