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
