Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
  B
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
   E
It only took a moment for my finger to find
    B                      
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign
   F#
My eyes just about popped out of my head
             B (stop)
It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed"
 
       E             B  
I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah
F#                      
No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way
B (stop)                         
  Mmmmm, I feel lucky today

B   B   B 

       B 
Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
    B
The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
  E
I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's
B
Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
    F#
The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
          B (stop)
I heard a voice above me saying, "Girl, you better get back home"

           E                       B 
But I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah
   F#
No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away
B (stop)
  Mmmmm, I feel lucky today

B (stop)
Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar
A#  B (stop)
I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
       E (stop)
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye
A#   B (stop)
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
F     F# (stop)                 F#
  The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
          B                      B7
Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do

           E                       B
I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah
    F#
Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight
B
Hot dog, I'm feeling lucky tonight

       E                     B 
I feel lucky, brrrrr, I feel lucky, yeah
F#
Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way
B (stop)
  Mmmmmm, I feel lucky today
