I Feel Lucky

	  		E   E   E   E     E   E   E   E 
{intro} 
 
       E                             E 
Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack 
  E                          E 
I opened up the paper to the page in the back 
   A                         A 
It only took a moment for my finger to find 
    E                      E 
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign 
   B                      B 
My eyes just about popped out of my head 
             E {stop}                            n.c. 
It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed" 
  
       A     A       E       E 
I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah 
 B                      B 
No Professor Doom gonna 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    A    E    E      B    B    E    B 
{Guitar solo} 
 
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 
          E                      E7 
Hey the stars might lie, but the 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 
{piano solo}                      {piano break}            {crescendo}  {stop} 
 
 
TAB: 
 
(Don't forget the capo on the 7th fret.) 
 
Play the E measures     And the A measures 
like this:              like this:

|0---0---0---0---|      |----------------| 
 ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .         ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . 
 
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.
