Lucky
(MESSÉ/MAURER)

(Capo on third fret)

D/F# = 2x0232 (Play in verse with F# as bass note before strumming the regular D chord)


C         D/F#     Em
There’s a man in a cutaway
C      D/F#           G
Buying drinks for the room
C       D/F#          Em
All the cheer raining down on the day
         C           D/F#          Em
Comes to nothing and leaves by the broom

On the streets named for presidents
Where the kingfishers flew
All the cornflowers sewn in the fence
                                G
Keep the memory from tearing in two

                C
But if I should lose
                    G
I’d wake up feeling lucky
            D
If I should take a fall 
                C
Or throw it all away
           A               G     
I wouldn’t mind lying beside you
    F          Em
The rest of my days

The storms came down out of Mackinaw
As the weigh stations closed
There was a terrible darkness I saw
Pulling up on the side of the road

But if I should lose
I’d wake up feeling lucky
If I should take a fall 
Or throw it all away
I wouldn’t mind lying beside you
The rest of my days

So I’ll drink to the wealthy man
And I’ll pray for the poor
And I’ll hold on to you while I can
In the darkness just to be sure

But if I should lose
I’d wake up feeling lucky
If I should take a fall 
Or throw it all away
I wouldn’t mind lying beside you
The rest of my days
