Luck fell in the right place for me
    Bb5           Eb5
The day you happened to come by.
    Bb5            Eb5
You caught me feeling all was useless,
    Bb5          Eb5
And left me feeling ten feet high.

C#5                              C5
 Now nothing again can be quite the same.
C#5                               F5  Eb5
 You gather my fears, and threw them away.


Luck dropped in, just at the right time;
The time when I felt most alone.
All my dreams had seemed to vanish.
Now my nightmares have upped and gone.

I'm not scared of farewells.  Nothing's the same twice.
I stride through the day, and float through the night.

Eb5   D5          G5     Ab5
How much choice do we have in this?
Eb5      D5        G5                     Ab5
Like some almighty hand, smashing your life into pieces,
C5             D5
 One day you're washed and drowned
        Eb5              Eb5
And the next day you're put back on the land.

Bb5 Eb5 Bb5 Eb5 (x2)

Now nothing again can be quite the same.
I gather my fears and I throw them away.

Bb5         Eb5
Luck, when you hold me closely.
Bb5          Eb5
Ooh, feels like summertime.
Bb5         Eb5
Luck, when you hold my hand.
Bb5    Eb5
I want it all the time.

Luck, in your country kisses.
Ooh, I love your outlook.
Luck, in your hills and valleys.
Go on talking, my babbling brook.
