O Lucky Man - Alan Price


A  D    A    G D
A                                D
If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely - 
          A          G D
You are a lucky man!
A                                  D
If you've found the reason to live on and not to die - 
          A          G G D
You are a lucky man!
F                       G                       (Gb)
Preachers and poets and scholars don't know it,
F                       G                       (Gb)
Temples and statues and steeples won't show it,
   F
If you've got the secret just try not to blow it
          A          G G D
 - Stay a lucky man!
     A         G G D
   A Lucky man
A                                  D
If you've found the meaning of the truth in this old world- 
          A         G G D
You are a lucky man!
   A                                     D
If knowledge hangs around your neck like pearls instead of chains
             A         G G D
 - You are a lucky man!
F                     G                      (Gb)
Takers and fakers and talkers won't tell you.
F                           G                     (Gb)
Teachers and preachers will just buy and sell you.
F
When no one can tempt you with heaven or hell-
            A         
You'll be a lucky man!

Youd be better by far to be just what you are
