Yes, this is my first tab. It's not made for playing along with the
recording. I just thought there should be a simple, singable,
pleasant-sounding alternative to some of the finger-twisters I've
seen for this tab. Hope you find it useful.
====================================================================
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
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
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 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
