I FEEL LUCKY (Mary-Chapin Carpenter & Don Schlitz)
--------------------------------------------------
[Actually in B; capo at the 7th 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
[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:

|2---4---2---4---| |0---0---0---0---|
|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.
