Song: Lucky Man
By:   Emerson, Lake & Palmer

[intro:] 2 x [ G  D ]

[verse: 1]
G              D
He had white horses
      G             D
And ladies by the score
           G         D
All were dressed in satin
       G            D
And waiting by the door

[chorus:]
Am             Em          D    Dsus4  D Dsus2 D     Dsus4  D Dsus2
Oooh, what a lucky man he was
Am             Em          D    Dsus4  D Dsus2 D
Oooh, what a lucky man he was

[verse: 2]
G                 D
White lace and feathers
      G           D
They made up his bed
   G              D
A gold covered mattress
    G            D
On which he was led

[chorus:]  {repeat}

[solo: guitar] {over verse  chords}
               {over chorus chords}

[verse: 3]
    G             D
He went to fight wars
          G              D
For his country and his king
        G              D
Of his honor and his glory
      G           D
The people would sing

[chorus:]  {repeat}

[verse: 4]
G                D
A bullet had found him
     G               D
His blood ran as he cried
    G                D
No money could save him
       G                D
So he laid down and he died

[chorus:]  {repeat}


[coda:] {end with synthesizer over vocals}
Am       Em       D
Ahhhh   ahhhh   ahhhh
Am       Em       D
Ahhhh   ahhhh   ahhhh
Am       Em       D
Ahhhh   ahhhh   ahhhh
Am       Em       D
Ahhhh   ahhhh   ahhhh

{finish with synthesizer+drums only}
