Ol’ ’55 Chords

[Verse]
        G                     
Well my time went so quickly, 
       Bm
I went lickety-splitly
C         D         G
Out to my ol’ fifty-five
     G                   Bm
As I pulled away slowly, feelin' so holy
    C                     D   D7
God knows I was feelin’ alive
 
 
[Chorus]
                 G     D      C   D7
     And now the sun's comin' up
         G           D    C     D7
     I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
     G        D         C      Bm
     Freeway, cars, and trucks 
     Am       D         G     Em
     Stars beginning to fade 
     Am     D           G     Em
     And I lead the parade
     Am     D           Em              G
     Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
     A7                      
     Oh Lord let me tell you 
         C                D7
that the feelin's gettin' stronger.
 
 
[Verse]
       G                   Bm
And at six in the mornin', gave me no warnin'
  C      D        G
I had to be on my way
             G                                Bm
Well there’s trucks all a-passin' me, and the lights all a-flashin'
    C                        D      D7
I'm on my way home from your place.
 
 
[Chorus]
                 G     D      C   D7
     And now the sun's comin' up
         G           D    C     D7
     I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
     G        D         C      Bm
     Freeway, cars, and trucks 
     Am       D         G     Em
     Stars beginning to fade 
     Am     D           G     Em
     And I lead the parade
     Am     D           Em              G
     Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
     A7                      
     Oh Lord let me tell you 
         C                D7
that the feelin's gettin' stronger.
 
 
        G                            Bm
Well my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly
C         D         G
Out to my ol’ fifty-five
     G                   Bm
As I pulled away slowly, feelin' so holy
    C                     D   D7
God knows I was feelin’ alive
 
            G     D      C    D7
And now the sun's comin' up
    G           D    C    D7
I’m riding with Lady Luck
G        D         C      D7
Freeway, cars, and trucks
G        D         C      C   Am  D7  G
Freeway, cars, and trucks
