 Here's "Ol '55" from the Album "Closing Time" from 1973. (The Eagles did a
 cover of this song)
 Ol'55    (Tom Waits)
 --------------------
 A            Asus4 A
 Time went so quickly,
        C#m      
 I went lickety splitly
 D               A 
 out to my Ol'55
      A           Asus4 A
 As I pulled away slowly
 C#m             
 feeling so holy
 D                       E7
 god knows I was feeling alive
 
         A    C#m     D  D/E  E7
 Now the suns comming up
     A           C#m   D   D/E  E7
 I'm riding with lady luck
 A        C#m      D      D/E E7
 freeways cars and trucks
 Bm      E          A
 stars beginning to fade
 Bm     E         A  
 and I lead the parade
 Bm     E               
 and I wish that I could
 F#m        
 stay a little longer
 B               E                E7     
 ooh 'cause this fellings getting stronger
 
 
 Six in the mornin' 
 gave me no warnin'
 had to be on my way
 now the cars are all passin' me
 trucks are all flashin' me
 'n I'm headed home from your place

 OL' 55' by Tom Waits
 
         C                           Em7
 Well my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly
 F          G         C
 Out to my ol' fifty-five
         C               Em7
 As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
     F                     G   G7
 God knows I was feelin' alive.
 
             C     Em7    F  G  G7
 And now the sun's comin' up 
     C           Em7    F  G  G7
 I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
 C       Em7      F     Em
 Freeway cars and trucks 
 Dm    G            C   Am
 Stars beginning to fade 
 Dm    G            C   Am
 And I lead the parade
 Dm     G           Am
 Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
 D                       F                G7
 Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.
 
 Six in the mornin' gave me no warnin'
 I had to be on my way.
 Now the cars are all passin' me, trucks are all flashin' me
 I'm headed home from your place.
 
 And now the sun's comin' up 
 I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
 Freeway cars and trucks 
 Stars beginning to fade 
 And I lead the parade
 Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
 Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.
 
 Well my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly
 Out to my ol' fifty-five
 As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
 God knows I was feelin' alive.

 C       Em7      F       G G7    C           Em7    F  G  G7
 Freeway cars and trucks,         Ridin' with Lady Luck

 Freeway cars and trucks,         Ridin' with Lady Luck
