[Intro] (x2)
D, G, A, D
D, G, A

[Verse 1]
D        G      A       D  
  He was born a sailors son,
G            D       A
Nothing came easy or free,
   D            G                A         D
He suffered the squalls, all the rises and falls,
    G          D          A
And everything else in between.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
            G             A           D                Bm
But he says storms always fade after they've had their way,
        G                    A
They're never as bad as they seem.

[Chorus]
   G            A           D          Bm
As long as the rivers still run to the seas,
G         A         Bm
Hey lucky you lucky me,
G         A         D
Hey lucky you lucky me.

[Instrumental] (x1)
D, G, A, D
D, G, A

[Verse 2]
Who'd ever thought for a moment,
She'd have to grow up so fast,
School beauty queen with a child at sixteen,
Swore that her fortunes had passed.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But blessings can hide in the strangest disguise,
I know that she would agree.

[Chorus]
As long as the rivers still run to the seas,
Hey lucky you lucky me,
Hey lucky you lucky me.

[Instrumental] (x3)
D, G, A, D
D, G, A

[Verse 3]
Hey look at me in the spotlight,
Ripped jeans and rock and roll hair,
Feeling so cool but I'd be such a fool,
Singing to no one out there.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
So hey take a bow every band needs a crowd,
And I've got a song we can sing.

[Chorus]
As long as the rivers still run to the seas,
Hey lucky you lucky me,
Hey lucky you lucky me,
Hey lucky you lucky me.

[Outro] (x6)
D, G, A, D
D, G, A
