Capo II *
 
One, two, three, four . . .
 
E G#m A E
 
         E
Well, my time went so quickly, 
       G#m
I went lickety-splickly
A               E (A \ E )
Out to my old '55
      E                   G#m
And I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
    A                     B
God knows, I was feeling alive.
 
            E     G#m    A  (A \ B)
And now the sun's coming up,
    E           G#m  A    (A \ B)
I'm riding with Lady Luck, 
E       G#m      A      (A \ B)
Freeway cars and trucks,
B                  E    (A \ E)
Stars beginning to fade, 
B                E   (A \ E)
And I lead the parade
B                  C#m
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
F#                                 B
Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.
 
    E                   G#m
Now six in the morning, gave me no warning;
  A               E   (A \ E)
I had to be on my way.
              E
Well, there's trucks all a passing,
G#m
lights all a flashing 
    A                        B
I'm on my way home from your place.
 
            E     G#m    A  (A \ B)
And now the sun's coming up,
    E           G#m  A    (A \ B)
I'm riding with Lady Luck, 
E       G#m      A     (A \ B)
Freeway cars and trucks,
B                  E    (A \ E)
Stars beginning to fade, 
B                E   (A \ E)
And I lead the parade
B                  C#m
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
F#                                 B
Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.
 
       E
And my time went so quickly, 
       G#m
I went lickety-splickly
A               E (A \ E)
Out to my old '55
     E                   G#m
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
    A                     B
God knows, I was feeling alive.
 
            E     G#m    A  (A \ B)
And now the sun's coming up,
    E           G#m  A    (A \ B)
I'm riding with Lady Luck, 
E       G#m      A     (A \ B)
Freeway cars and trucks,
E       G#m      A     (A \ B)
Freeway cars and trucks,
E       G#m      A     (A \ B)  A G#m A E   A E
Freeway cars and trucks,
