IMHO:
ninth chords can be substituted
for seventh chords for a more
jazzy feel

Intro:

A7 D7 F7 E7 Am

Am
if I was to gather
E7
all my thoughts together
Am
try to summarize the
E7
live I've lived

A7
it would be safe to say
D7
luck was on my side
F7
luck was with me
E7
on the ride


fortune was to come to
me early
accepting the luck 
quite naturally

then the realization
luck was on my side 
luck was with me
on the ride

chorus:
Ab7
woe, the luck 
     A7
more luck than he could use
Ab7
woe, the luck 
     A7
it's got him so confused
Ab7
woe, the luck 
    A7
the luck he first loved later hated

A13
ok, who can deny 
D7
luck was on his side?
A13
ok, who can deny 
D7
luck was on his side?

F7        E7                   Am
was there nothing he could be denied?

(instrumental break)

surrounding myself with 
ev'rything I've won
as my lucky streak
went on and on and on

little did I realize
no, I did not know
what the lucky man must know

it's no use to think that
life could've been without it
all the luck Ive had was
surely meant for me

now Im on the question,
how was I to know,
for this luck
I'd have to give my soul

(repeat chorus)
