Eagles - Ol 55 guitar chord

OL' 55

Tom Waits

Eagles

On the Border

1974

This cover of a Tom Waits ballad is so great. Frey and Henley share

vocals, the piano is great, and the chorus has a wonderful hook to it.

It's really easy to play, so have fun! A friend of mine named James

Wiebeck sent this to me a while back, and I checked it out and put it

up today. Thanks, James!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------C Em7 Am Am7 F G7 C G9

C

Well my time went so quickly

Em7

I went lickety splitly

F F/G C G9

Out to my old fifty-five

C

As I pulled away slowly

Em7

Feelin so Holy

F F/G G7

God knows I was feelin alive

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chorus:

C Em7 G7

And now the sun's comin up

C Em7 G7

I'm ridin' with lady luck

C Em7 G7

Freeway cars and trucks

Dm Em7 C C/B Am

Stars beginning to fade

Dm Em7 C C/B Am

And I lead the parade

Dm G7 Am

Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer

D F G7

Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next parts simile to above chords:

Six in the morning

Gave me no warning

I had to be on my way

Now the cars are all passin' me

Trucks are all flashin' me

I'm headin' home from your place

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------And now the sun's comin up

I'm ridin' with lady luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Stars beginning to fade

And I lead the parade

Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer

Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well my time went so quickly

I went lickety splitly

Out to my old fifty-five

As I pulled away slowly

Feelin' so Holy

God knows I was feelin' alive

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------This part just repeats C Em7 F F/G G7

And now the sun's comin up (yes it is)

I'm ridin' with lady luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Freeway cars and trucks

Ridin' with lady luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Ridin' with lady luck

Freeway cars and trucks

Ridin' with lady luck

Freeway cars and trucks
