Bbmaj7           Ebmaj7

Luck fell in the right place for me

    Bbmaj7           Eb/F

The day you happened to come by.

    Bbmaj7            Ebmaj7

You caught me feeling all was useless,

    Bbmaj7          Eb/F

And left me feeling ten feet high.

Dbmaj7                              Cm7

Now nothing again can be quite the same.

Dbmaj7                               Fm7  Eb/F

You gather my fears, and threw them away.

Luck dropped in, just at the right time;

The time when I felt most alone.

All my dreams had seemed to vanish.

Now my nightmares have upped and gone.

I'm not scared of farewells.  Nothing's the same twice.

I stride through the day, and float through the night.

Ebmaj7   Dm7          Gm7     Ab/Bb      

How much choice do we have in this?

Ebmaj7      Dmaj7        Gm7                     Ab/Bb

Like some almighty hand, smashing your life into pieces,

Cm7             Dm7

One day you're washed and drowned

        Ebmaj7              Eb/F

And the next day you're put back on the land.

Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 Eb/F (x2)

Now nothing again can be quite the same.

I gather my fears and I throw them away.

Bbmaj7         Ebmaj7

Luck, when you hold me closely.

Bbmaj7          Eb

Ooh, feels like summertime.

Bbmaj7         Ebmaj7

Luck, when you hold my hand.

Bbmaj7    Eb/F    

I want it all the time.

Luck, in your country kisses.

Ooh, I love your outlook.

Luck, in your hills and valleys.

Go on talking, my babbling brook.
