I FEEL LUCKY (Mary-Chapin Carpenter & Don Schlitz) -------------------------------------------------- [Actually in B; capo at the 7th fret]
[intro]
Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
It only took a moment for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign
My eyes just about popped out of my head E [stop] n.c. It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed"
I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah
No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way E [stop] n.c. E E E E Mmmmm, I feel lucky today [instrumental]
Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan I heard a voice above me saying, "girl, you better get back home"
But I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away Mmmmm, I feel lucky today
[Guitar solo]
E [stop] Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar (D) E [stop] I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car A [stop] Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye (D) E [stop] Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh (A) B [stop] B [stop] The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do
I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight Hot dog, I'm feeling lucky tonight
I feel lucky, brrrrr, I feel lucky, yeah Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way Mmmmmm, I feel lucky today E E E E A A E E B B E n.c. (F#9) (F9) E9 E [piano solo] [piano break] [crescendo] [stop]
