[Gm] [F#]
[A#m]
[C#] [F#]
Well, my time went so quickly [A#m] I went hickity-splickly
[B] Out to my [C#] old [F#] 55 As I pulled away [C#] slowly
[A#m] Feeling so holy God [B] [F#] knows I was feeling [C#] alive
Now [F#] the sun's coming [B]
up [C#] [F#] I'm riding [A#m] with Lady [B] Luck
[C#] [F#] [A#m] Freeway, cars [B] and trucks [C#] Stars beginning [F#] to fade
[C#] And I [F#] leave the parade Just [C#] [G#] a wishing [D#m] I'd stay a little longer
[G#] Oh Lord, let me tell you [C#] that the feeling's getting stronger
[F#] [C#] And [F#] it's six in the morning [A#m] Gave me no warning [F#] I had [C#] to be on [F#] my way
Well, there's trucks all a-passing And [A#m] the lights all a-flashing
[C#] I'm on my way home from your place
And [F#] now the [A#m] sun's coming [F#] up [C#] [F#] I'm riding [A#m] with Lady [B] Luck
[C#] [F#]
[A#m] Freeway, cars [F#] and [B] trucks [C#]
Stars beginning to fade
[F#] [C#]
And I leave the [F#] parade [C#] Just a wishing [D#m] I'd stay a little longer
[G#]
[F#] Oh Lord, let me [C#] tell you that the feeling's getting stronger
[F#] And my time went so quickly [A#m] I went hickity-splickly
[B] Out to [C#] my old [F#] 55 As I pulled away slowly
[A#m]
Feeling so holy [B] God knows I was [C#] feeling alive
And [F#] now the [A#m] sun's coming [B]
up [C#] [F#] I'm riding [A#m] with Lady [B]
