{intro} 
 

       E5                             E5 
Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack 
  E5                          E5 
I opened up the paper to the page in the back 
   A5                         A5 
It only took a moment for my finger to find 
    E5                      E5 
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign 
   B5                      B5 
My eyes just about popped out of my head 
             E5 {stop}                            N.C. 
It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed" 
  

       A5     A5       E5       E5 
I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah 
 B5                      B5 
No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way 
E5                N.C.            E5   E5   E5   E5 
   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

E5 
Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar 
( D5 )   E5 
I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car 
       A5  
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye 
( D5 )  E5  
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh 
( A5 )    B5                  B5  
  The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true 
          E5                      E5 
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 
E5  E5  E5  E5    A5  A5  E5  E5    B5  B5  E5   N.C.      ( F#5 ) ( F5 ) E5           E5

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.
