I Feel Lucky [A] - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[Intro]
[A]

Verse 1:
Well I [A] woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
I [A] opened up the paper to the page in the back
It [D] only took a moment for my finger to find
My [A] daily dose of destiny, under my sign
My [E7] eyes just about popped out of my head
It said "the [A] stars are stacked against you girl, [NC] get back in bed"

|[Chorus]
|I feel [D] lucky, I feel [A] lucky, yeah
|[E7] No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way
|[A] Mmmmm, [NC] I feel lucky today

Instrumental:
[A]

Verse 2:
Well I [A] strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The [A] pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
I [D] bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's
Crossed [A] against the light, made a beeline for the park
The [E7] sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
I heard a [A] voice above me saying, "girl, you better [NC] get back home"

|[Chorus]
|But I feel [D] lucky, oh oh oh, I feel [A] lucky, yeah
|[E7] No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away
|[A] Mmmmm, [NC] I feel lucky today

Instrumental:
[D] [A] [E7] [A] [E7]

Verse 3 (single strum):
[A] Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar
[G] I'd [A] bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
Dwight [D] Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye
[G] Lyle [A] Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
[D] The [E7] moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
(normal struming)
Hey the [A] stars might lie, but the numbers never do

|[Chorus]
|I feel [D] lucky, oh oh oh, I feel [A] lucky, yeah
|[E7] Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight
|[A] Hot dog, [NC] I'm feeling lucky tonight

[Outro]
I feel [D] lucky, brrrrr, I feel [A] lucky, yeah
[E7] Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way
[A] Mmmmmm, [NC] I feel lucky today
[A] [D] [A] [E7] [A]
