Got Lucky Last Night

Written by Jerry Jeff Walker

	  		I like to capo this on 4 
             
          C                                         
Well I was down at the Cotton Club last night 
         F                            C 
With a couple of my buddies drinking beer 
 
We were lookin' for something I ain't never seen 
            D7                  G 
Boys, I'm grinnin' from ear to ear 
                C      
When I see her long legs come walking in the door 
         F                           C 
And her high heels clicking on the floor 
    F                     C 
I knew right then I'd be headin' in 
    G                              C 
To something I ain't never seen before 
 
        F                                    C 
That's right I got lucky last night, that's right 
          G 
Yea, I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 
       C 
I got lucky last night 
 
 
Well I took my hands out of my pants 
And walked up and asked her to dance 
Oh, we two-stepped, we three-stepped, 
'Fore you even know it, we were tighter than old Jimmy J's pants 
Ain't nothing to learn, one slide or a turn 
With a big move over to the side 
Where we don't have to shout, and we can both figure out 
How we're gonna get away from here light 
 
That's right lucky last night, that's right 
Yea, I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 
I got lucky last night 
Oh, that's right, that's right 
I got lucky last night, that's right 
I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 
I got lucky last night 
 
Well this lovely lady with keys to a car 
Whispered she didn't live far 
I said who cares, she said how come chum 
We don't skate out of this bar 
So we dosi-doed, we grand right and left 
And grabbed two six-packs from the bar 
While some fool sang Goodnight Irene,  
I mean we both gone in the car 
 
Son, that's right, I got lucky last night, that's right 
I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 
But it happened to me, yessiree 
That's right, lucky last night, that's right 
Ain't no reason or rhyme, it just happens sometime 
You got lucky that's right, oh last night, that's right 
I got lucky last night, that's right 
I'm telling you true, it could happen to you 
I got lucky last night
