[intro]

       E                             E

Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack

  E                          E

I opened up the paper to the page in the back

   A                         A

It only took a moment for my finger to find

    E                      E

My daily dose of destiny, under my sign

   B                      B

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"

       A     A       E       E

I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah

B                      B

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

A    A    E    E      B    B    E    B

[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

          E                      E7

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]

I'm not sure about B.  It might be x244xx and x264xx (like A), or it might

just be x244xx.

For the very beginning of the song, slide into the first E with 011xxx.
