LUCKY MAN (Grit Laskin)

F C F G7 C I had no say in being born, F C Dm7 G7 Or where or when it happened to me
F C F G7 C It's only chance that turned the wheel F Dm7 G7 And made my living easy

CHORUS
F Dm7 C F Dm7 G7 Oh, I am a lucky man, favored by good fortune's hand,
F Dm7 G7 C Far more than I'm deserving

F C F G7 C I've had good work since I've been young,
F C Dm7 G7 Mastered a trade,my business thriving
F C F G7 C Yet thousands idly bide their days
F Dm7 G7 No job means no surviving

F C F G7 C I share a love that's fair and true
F C Dm7 G7 A marriage have I that's rich with pleasure
F C F G7 C Yet there are those whose wedding vows
F Dm7 G7 Are shackles that embitter

F C F G7 C There's some who die for want of bread
F C Dm7 G7 There's some are killed for seeking freedom
F C F G7 C Yet I have more of what they crave
F Dm7 G7 Than ever I'll be needing.
