This chord progression is extremely simple. The strumming pattern throughout

the whole song is a gallop. I like to palm mute the verses to give it some

contrast and make it sound like the original recording.

Intro

Verse 1

The

smell of coffee hits me as

I open up my eyes,

A southern

angel wearing nothing but

an apron and a smile,

I say

thank you sweet Lord Jesus tell the

truth don't know how I g

ot so lucky

All them

boys from back in high school wonde

r how I'm still alive,

Hooked by

bull dove off of blue lake bridge and

wrecked my pick-up twice,

Then

she picked this here country boy out o

f all them other guys b

oys that's lucky

Chorus

got a couple buddies playin

g football in

the pros,

And I

some who good looks some with brains some

rolling in the dough b

ut y'all trust me

I'd rather

be lucky

Verse 2

Now you can

win a the power ball with

a million in the pot,

Then
