Intro
[E] [E] [E] [E]
Verse 1
Well [E]I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
I [E]opened up the paper to the page in the back
It [A]only took a moment for my finger to find
My [E]daily dose of destiny, under my sign
My [B]eyes just about popped out of my head
It [E]said the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed
Chorus
I [A]feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah
No [B]Professor Doom gonna stand in my way
I [E]feel lucky today
Verse 2
Well [E]I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The [E]pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
I [A]bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's
Crossed [E]against the light, made a beeline for the park
The [B]sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
I [E]heard a voice above me saying, girl, you better get back home
Chorus
But [A]I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah
No [B]tropical depression gonna steal my sun away
I [E]feel lucky today

Verse 3
Now [E]eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar
I'd [E]bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
Dwight [A]Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye
Lyle [E]Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
The [A]moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
Hey [B]the stars might lie, but the numbers never do
Chorus
I [E]feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah
Hey [A]Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight
Hot [B]dog, I'm feeling lucky tonight
Chorus
I [E]feel lucky, brrrrr, I feel lucky, yeah
Think [A]I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way
I [B]feel lucky today
