(intro) 
 

       E                             E 
Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack 
  E                          E 
I opened up the paper to the page in the back 
   A                         A 
It only took a moment for my finger to find 
    E                      E 
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign 
   B                      B 
My eyes just about popped out of my head 
             E (stop)                            n.c. 
It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed" 
  

       A     A       E       E 
I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah 
 B                      B 
No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way 
E (stop)         n.c.            E   E   E   E 
   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

E (stop) 
Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar 
( D )   E (stop) 
I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car 
       A (stop) 
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye 
( D )  E (stop) 
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh 
( A )    B (stop)                 B (stop) 
  The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true 
          E                      E7 
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
