Sad to say, but there is NO Sammy Hagar at OLGA.  So here's a quick and
dirty version of one of his tunes someone requested a while back to get us
started!  I just saw Van Halen, and these were the chords he played at the
concert.  This is, however, still in need of a lot of work.  I don't have
the album (dating myself!), but I've heard the song enough time to be pretty
sure most of this is right.

        I Can't Drive 55
        Sammy Hagar

E (Fig 1.)                               (Fig 2.)
One foot on the break and one on the gas
E (Fig 1.)                                     (Fig 2.)
Well there's too much traffic I can't pass, no
E                              G
What used to take three hours, now takes all day
E          G                A
It took me fifteen hours to get to L.A.

          G
C'mon and write me up for 125
E
Poster my face wanted dead or alive
G
Take my license and all that jive
A                 (Fig 2.)
I can't drive 55!
