Dm A Bb F

Verse 1

My whole Saturday and Sunday too
I was thinkin''bout ways not to lose
I lay down my weapons is what I've done
Too late to hide, feet too soft to run
                       G           A
But people say I'm the luckiest man
NC
And yeah they say

Verse 2

Bb         F       Bb              F
Running is useless and fighting is foolish
Bb               F                        Bb       F
You're not gonna win but still you're the luckiest man you're up against
Bb           F      Bb             F
And too many horses and mysterious forces
Bb             F                   Bb       F
What you don't know is you are the luckiest man
           Bb
You're the luckiest man

Verse 3

Dm   A   Bb   F (one time)

Verse 4

I done talked to the devil when he calls my name
But sometimes when I'm losing it all seems the same
And when I fall I'm back up again
Just to slip on the same mistakes and slide right back in
But people say I'm the luckiest man
And yeah they say

Chorus

Dm   A   Bb   F (two times)

Verse 5

Try to keep my faith and keep my mind
Hate to lose either one when the whip cracks behind
And I can't help but mourning just a little each night
People say everything is gonna be alright
But people say I'm the luckiest man
And yeah they say
