D                      G           [x4]
Be lucky, be lucky, be lucky, some     

A                                 G
Be lucky, gotta make it your own
Get it from a bottle or squeeze it from a stone
Might not remember the best way home
But come December you won't be alone

[chorus]
D            G
Be lucky (better not forget, oh no)
Be lucky (a very simple thing)
Be lucky (better make a bet, uh huh)
Be lucky (or you might never win)

[repeat verse]
Be lucky, place your bet
Come put it on a nag who ain't done nothin' yet
Make sure it was born in the Lambourn hills
Then Kentucky farm could pay your bills

[bridge]
F#m                         B       D
You wanna travel 'cross the great divide
F#m                        C            G
You really gotta have some luck on your side
F#m                       B      D
You wanna climb without a safety line
E
AC/DC it's gonna be fine

E         A

[repeat chorus]
Be lucky (better not forget, oh no)
Be lucky (a very simple thing)
Be lucky (better place a bet, uh huh)
Be lucky (or you might never win)

D
If you wanna sell, you gotta kiss and tell
Then you gotta do a cover of Highway to Hell
If you want to fight, if you need to bite
Then you better get ready to rock through the night

A
Be lucky, gotta make it your own
Get it from a bottle, squeeze it from a stone
Might not remember the best way home
But come December you won't be alone

You wanna travel 'cross the great divide
You really gotta have some luck on your side
You wanna climb without a safety line
Daft Punk will tell you that it's gonna be fine
(It's gonna be fine)

Little Kylie is still on time
Go girl (I'm here, I'm ready)

Be lucky (if you want a hit, just finish it)
Be lucky (dress it up, laptop's hit)
Be lucky (sounds nice, my advice is...)

D         G
Be lucky, some
