Ol'55 (Tom Waits)

--------------------

A Asus4 A

Time went so quickly,

C#m

I went lickety splitly

D A

out to my Ol'55

A Asus4 A

As I pulled away slowly

C#m

feeling so holy

D E7

god knows I was feeling alive

A C#m D D/E E7

Now the suns comming up

A C#m D D/E E7

I'm riding with lady luck

A C#m D D/E E7

freeways cars and trucks

Bm E A

stars beginning to fade

Bm E A

and I lead the parade

Bm E

and I wish that I could

F#m

stay a little longer

B E E7

ooh 'cause this fellings getting stronger

Six in the mornin'

gave me no warnin'

had to be on my way

now the cars are all passin' me

trucks are all flashin' me

'n I'm headed home from your place

Out to my ol' fifty-five

As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy

God knows I was feelin' alive.
