Another user did a pretty good job of tabbing this song, but I found that a few of his
notes were off. The key is to keep the bass line with your thumb during the intro. Sorry
for the messy tab, it's my first one.
Capo: 4
( ) indicates a ghost note, or a note that is played quieter than the others. Listen to
the song for the exact rhythm on the intro.

[Verse 1]
G
I am better with my muscles
Than I am with my mouth
G7 C/G
I work the fair grounds in the summer
G
Or go pick fruit down south
G
And when I feel them chilly winds
Where the weather goes I'll follow
G7 C
Pack up my travelling things
G
Go with the swallows
[Chorus]
D/F# D/F# D7/F#
And I might get Lucky now and then
G G/C
You win some
Am Am7 C
I might get lucky now and then
G C/G C/G
You win some

[Verse 2]
G
I wake up every morning
Keep an eye on what I spend
G7 C/G
Got to think about eating
G
Got to think about paying the rent
I always think it's funny
It gets me every time
G7 C/G
That one about happiness and money?
G
Tell it to the breadline
[Chorus]
D/F# D/F# D7/F#
But you might get Lucky now and then
G C
You win some
Am Am7 C
You might get Lucky now and then
G C/G G G
Yeah you win some

[Verse 3]
Bm
Now I'm a rambling through this meadow
Em Em7
Happy as a man can be
C G D/F#
Think I'll just lay me down
D7/F#
Under this old tree
G
On and on we go
Through this old world a shuffling
G7 C
If you've got a truffle dog
G
You can go truffling
[Chorus]
D/F# D/F# D7/F#
And you might get Lucky now and then
G C
You win some
Am Am7 C
You might get Lucky now and then
G C/G C/G
Yeah you win some
