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.

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.
