by Tom Waits

[Verse]
        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

[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                               C                D7       
Oh Lord let me tell you 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                               C                D7       
Oh Lord let me tell you that the feelin's gettin' stronger.
        G                            Bm
