Ol' 55 by Tom Waits

I've found some other tabs for this around the place, and they worked, 
but if you want to play along with the record then these are the chords to use. 
I can't seem to get the end of the chorus parts just right - If anyone can 
make it sound better, please email me

        F#           F#sus4  F#        Bbm
Well my time went so quick - ly I went lickety-splitly
B                   F# 
Out to my ol' fifty-five
                 F#sus4 F#  Bbm 
As I pulled away slow - ly, feelin' so holy
    B                     C#  C#7
God knows I was feelin' a-live.

            F#    Bbm7   B  C#7
And now the sun's comin' up 
    F#          Bbm7 B      C#7
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
F#      Bbm7     B
Freeway cars and trucks 
G#    C#           F#
Stars beginning to fade 
G#    C#          F#
And I lead the pa-rade
G#     C#          D#m
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
G#                      B                C#7
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.
