Chords

Another user did a pretty good job of tabbing this song, but I found that a few of his notes were off. The key is to keep the bass line with your thumb during the intro. Sorry for the messy tab, it's my first one. ( ) indicates a ghost note, or a note that is played quieter than the others. Listen to the song for the exact rhythm on the intro.

(repeat)
 G
I am better with my muscles
Than I am with my mouth
                  G7              C/G
I work the fair grounds in the summer

                                  G
Or go pick fruit down south

      G
And when I feel them chilly winds
Where the weather goes I'll follow
 G7          C
Pack up my travelling things

              G
Go with the swallows

                 D/F#               D/F#  D7/F#
And I might get Lucky now and then

     G        G/C
You win some

             Am                 Am7  C
I might get lucky now and then

     G        C/G  C/G
You win some
| G | C/G | C/G | C/G | | G | C/G | C/G | C/G | | G | C/G | C/G | C/G |
   G
I wake up every morning
Keep an eye on what I spend
G7                   C/G
Got to think about eating

                               G
Got to think about paying the rent
I always think it's funny It gets me every time
      G7                      C/G
That one about happiness and money?

                     G
Tell it to the breadline

                   D/F#               D/F#  D7/F#
But you might get Lucky now and then

     G        C
You win some

               Am                 Am7  C
You might get Lucky now and then

          G        C/G  G  G
Yeah you win some

           Bm
Now I'm a rambling through this meadow

 Em                    Em7
Happy as a man can be

 C                G           D/F#
Think I'll just lay me down

                     D7/F#
Under this old tree

G
On and on we go
Through this old world a shuffling
 G7                      C
If you've got a truffle dog

                  G
You can go truffling

                   D/F#               D/F#  D7/F#
And you might get Lucky now and then

     G        C
You win some

               Am                 Am7  C
You might get Lucky now and then

          G        C/G  C/G
Yeah you win some
