Verse (play Riff 1):
C Em7
Well my mind went so quickly I went licketly-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
Chorus (play Riff 2):
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
On a freeway cars and trucks
Dm G C Am
Stars beginning to fade
Dm G C Am
And I leave the parade
Dm G Am
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
D F G7
Don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger
C Em7
Six in the mornin' you gave me no warnin'
F G C
I had to be on my way.
C Em7
Trucks are all passing, lights are all flashin'
F G C
I'm on my way home from your place.
C Em7 F G G7
And now the sun's comin' up
C Em7 F G G7
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck

On a freeway cars and trucks
Dm G C Am
Stars beginning to fade
Dm G C Am
And I leave the parade
Dm G Am
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer

Don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger
