E5 B5 A5  
 
E5           B5 
born lucky, I guess 
       A* 
didn't hurt that i was in the right place, in the right time too 
E5                     B5                      
but the girl, she was dandelion beautiful  
A5 
damn, she was beautiful 
E5                   B5 
when the wind blows her like a bird 
         A5 
and the petals on the flower fly away 
E5                  D5               A5 
sometimes it don't matter what you say 

Refr?o -------------
E5       B5                F#5   A5      
all the good things fade away 
E5       B5                F#5  G#5  A5 
all the good things fade aw - ay

E5                             B5 
i found me a game out towards shreveport 
           A5 
couple of days just hiding from the sun 
E5                       B5 
good with the cards and good with the dice 
          A5 
you could say i had a lucky little run 
E5                           B5           A5 
won it all and maybe just a little more today 
E5                                 D5              A5 
all the luck you have is just the bills you left unpaid

E5 B5 A5 x2 
 
E5                               B5                      A5 
seems shitty to me there has to be such a thing as the good old days 
E5                      B5                          A5 
someday, somewhere, my hair like my memories will all just fade out to gray 
E5                          B5                         A5 
got it all right now and i just as soon keep it that way

* - when the A chord is played in the verses he switches back and forth from a regular 
    A chord and A4 (X02230). i can't explain the rhythm very well so i'll just say 
    you'll have to listen for it, but it's not too hard.
