--------------------------------------------------

[Actually in B; capo at the 7th fret]

E E E E E E E E

[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

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.
