Lucky Day 
  by Tom Waits

Intro: E--3--5--10--

G
 The prettiest girl
    B        Em*(on 7th fret)
 In all the world
          A       D     G
 Is in a little Spanish town
                       B      Em*
 But I left her for a Bonnie lass
        A
 And I told her
               D
 I'd see her around
           G
 But that Bonnie lass
          C*(on 3th fret)
 And her heart of glass
            A
 Would not hold a candle
     D
 To bumming around
            G
 So don't cry for me
          B      Em*
 For I'm going away
              A         D     G
 And I'll be back some lucky day

 Tell the boys back home
 I'm doing just fine
 I left my troubles and woe
 So sing about me
 For I can't come home
 I've many more miles to go

 Why, there's Miss Kelsey
 You taught dance at our school
 And old Johnny O'Toole
 I'll still beat you at pool
 So don't cry for me
 For I'm going away
 ANd I'll be back some lucky day

 Now when I was a boy
 My daddy sat me on his knee
 And he told me
 He told me many things
 And he said sone
 There's a lot of things in this world
 You're gonna have no use for
 ANd when you get blue
 And you've lost all your dreams
 There's nothin' like a campfire
 And a can of beans

 Why, there's Miss Kelsey
 She taught dance at our school
 And old Johnny O'Toole
 I'll still beat you at pool
 So don't cry for me
 For I'm going away
 And I'll be back some lucky day
