Capo 2nd fret
 
Intro: D Em A D
D
I have days where I hate my job
G
This little town and the whole world too
A
Last Sunday when the Chiefs lost
D
Lord it put me in a bad mood
 
I have moments when I curse the rain
G
Then complain when the sun's too hot
A
I look around at what everyone has
D
And I forget about all I've got
 
CHORUS:
D
But I know I'm a lucky man
Em
God's given me a pretty fair hand
G D Em
Got a house and a piece of land
A
A few dollars in a coffee can
D
My old trucks still running good
Em
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
D G D
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
Em Asus4 A
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
D
Lord, knows I'm a lucky man
 
VERSE 2:
D
Got some friends who would be here fast
G
I could call em any time of day
A
Got a brother who's got my back
D
Got a mama who I swears a saint
 
Got a brand new rod and reel
G
Got a full week off this year
A
Dad had a close call last spring
D
It's a miracle he's still here
 
(REPEAT CHORUS)
D
My old trucks still running good
Em
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
D G D
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
Em Asus4 A
And even my bad days ain't that bad
D G
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
D
I'm a lucky man
