 Luck fell in the right place for me
     Bbmaj7           Eb/F       
 The day you happened to come by.
     Bbmaj7            Ebmaj7          
 You caught me feeling all was useless,
     Bbmaj7          Eb/F          
 And left me feeling ten feet high.
 
 Dbmaj7                              Cm7  
  Now nothing again can be quite the same.
 Dbmaj7                               Fm7  Eb/F 
  You gather my fears, and threw them away.
 
 Luck dropped in, just at the right time;
 The time when I felt most alone.
 All my dreams had seemed to vanish.
 Now my nightmares have upped and gone.
 
 I'm not scared of farewells. Nothing's the same twice.
 I stride through the day, and float through the night.
 
 Ebmaj7   Dm7          Gm7     Ab/Bb 
 How much choice do we have in this?
 Ebmaj7      Dmaj7        Gm7                     Ab/Bb  
 Like some almighty hand, smashing your life into pieces,
 Cm7             Dm7               
  One day you're washed and drowned
         Ebmaj7              Eb/F             
 And the next day you're put back on the land.
 
 Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 Eb/F (x2)
 
 Now nothing again can be quite the same.
 I gather my fears and I throw them away.
 
 Bbmaj7         Ebmaj7          
 Luck, when you hold me closely.
 Bbmaj7          Eb         
 Ooh, feels like summertime.
 Bbmaj7         Ebmaj7       
 Luck, when you hold my hand.
 Bbmaj7    Eb/F         
 I want it all the time.
 
 Luck, in your country kisses.
 Ooh, I love your outlook.
 Luck, in your hills and valleys.
 Go on talking, my babbling brook.
