(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 (stop)         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

(Guitar solo) 
 

E5 (stop) 
Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar 
( D5 )   E5 (stop) 
I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car 
       A5 (stop) 
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye 
( D5 )  E5 (stop) 
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh 
( A5 )    B5 (stop)                 B5 (stop) 
  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
