^{Actually in B; capo at tbe 7tb fret
E} [int ^E ro] ^{E E E E E E}
Well I ^E woke up this morning stumbled ^E out of my rack
I ^E opened up the paper to the ^E page in the back
It ^A only took a moment for my ^A finger to find
My d ^E aily dose of destiny, u ^E nder my sign
My ^B eyes just about popped ^B out of my head
E ^stop n.c.
It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed"
I feel ^A lucky, ^A I feel ^E lucky, y ^E eah
N ^B o Professor Doom gonna ^B stand in my way
E ^stop n.c. E E E E
Mmmmm, I feel lucky today ^instrumental
Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's
Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
I heard a voice above me saying, "girl, you better get back home"
But I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah
No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away
Mmmmm, I feel lucky today
^A [Guit ^A ar so ^E lo] ^{E B B E B}
E ^stop
Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar
(D) E ^stop
I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
A ^stop
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye
(D) E ^stop
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
(A) B ^stop B ^stop
The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
Hey the st ^E ars might lie, but the ^E7 numbers never do
I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah
Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight
Hot dog, I'm feeling lucky tonight
I feel lucky, brrrrr, I feel lucky, yeah
Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way
Mmmmmm, I feel lucky today
E E E E A A E E B B E n.c. (F#9) (F9) E9 E

TAB:
(Don't forget the capo on the 7th fret.)
Play the E measures And the A measures
like this: like this:

^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
I'm not sure about B. It might be x244xx and x264xx (like A), or it might
just be x244xx.
For the very beginning of the song, slide into the first E with 011xxx.
