Verse I:
Am              
House got too crowded, clothes got too tight
      C                    G
And I don't know where I'm going tonight.
              Am
Out where the sky's been cleared by a good hard rain
        C                   G
There's somebody callin' my secret name.

Chorus:
F                 G
I'm goin' down to Lucky Town
      D       Am7   Am    G
Goin' Down to Lucky Town.
F                  G          F
I wanna lose these blues I've found
C       Am7   Am
Down in Lucky Town
C       Am7   Am
Down in Lucky Town.

Verse II:
Am
Had a coat of fine leather and snakeskin boots
         C                 G
But that coat always had a thread hangin' loose.
        Am
Well, I pulled it one night and to my surprise
          C                            G
It led me right past your house and on over the rise.

(C:Chorus)

Bridge:
F
I had some victory that was just failure in deceit
        C                            Am
Now the joke's comin' up through the soles of my feet.
F
I been a long time walkin' on fortune's cane
            C                    Am
Tonight I'm stepping lightly and feelin' no pain.

Am  C  G  Am  C  G

Verse III:
Am        
Well, here's to your good looks baby, now here's to my health
              C                     G
Here's to the loaded places that we take ourselves.
Am
When it come to luck, you make your own
              C                                 G
Tonight I got dirt on my hands but I'm building me a new home.

Chorus:
F            G
Baby down in Lucky Town
C       Am7   Am   G
Down in Lucky Town

Baby down in Lucky Town.
