E B A  
 
E           B 
born lucky, I guess 
       A* 
didn't hurt that i was in the right place, in the right time too 
E                     B                      
but the girl, she was dandelion beautiful  
A 
damn, she was beautiful 
E                   B 
when the wind blows her like a bird 
         A 
and the petals on the flower fly away 
E                  D               A 
sometimes it don't matter what you say 

E       B                F#m   A      
all the good things fade away 
E       B                F#m  G#m  A 
all the good things fade aw - ay
    
 
E                             B 
i found me a game out towards shreveport 
           A 
couple of days just hiding from the sun 
E                       B 
good with the cards and good with the dice 
          A 
you could say i had a lucky little run 
E                           B           A 
won it all and maybe just a little more today 
E                                 D              A 
all the luck you have is just the bills you left unpaid 
 
 
chorus 
 
break: E B A x2 
 
E                               B                      A 
seems shitty to me there has to be such a thing as the good old days 
E                      B                          A 
someday, somewhere, my hair like my memories will all just fade out to gray 
E                          B                         A 
got it all right now and i just as soon keep it that way 
 
E  D  A (build up on A) 
 
chorus  
repeat chorus 
 
 
* - when the A chord is played in the verses he switches back and forth from a regular 
    A chord and Asus4 (X02230). i can't explain the rhythm very well so i'll just say 
    you'll have to listen for it, but it's not too hard.
