Tom Waits
Ol'55
Saw some otherwise very good versions, but this song was screaming for a capo. Enjoy.

Capo first fret.

F Am
Well my time went so quickly I went lickety-split
Bb F
Out to my ol' fifty-five
F Am
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
Bb C
God knows I was feelin' alive.
F Am Bb
And now the sun's comin' up
F Am Bb
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
F Am Bb
Freeway cars and trucks
C F
Stars beginning to fade
C F
And I lead the parade
C Dm
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
G C
Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.
F Am
Six in the mornin' gave me no warnin'
Bb F
I had to be on my way.
F Am
Now the cars are all passin' me, trucks are all flashin' me
Bb C
I'm headed home from your place.
F Am Bb
And now the sun's comin' up
F Am Bb
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
F Am Bb
Freeway cars and trucks
C F
Stars beginning to fade
C F
And I lead the parade
C Dm
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
G C
Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.
F Am
Well my time went so quickly I went lickety-split
Bb F
Out to my ol' fifty-five
F Am
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
Bb C
God knows I was feelin' alive.
F Am Bb
And now the sun's comin' up
F Am Bb
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
F Am Bb
Freeway cars and trucks,
F Am Bb
Ridin' with Lady Luck
F Am Bb
Freeway cars and trucks,
F Am Bb
Ridin' with Lady Luck
