G C G
Lightning hit that oak tree we've been lookin' at for years
C
This summer, oh I know we'll miss the shade
D G C
We just made it through The coldest winter we ever knew
D
And our ol’ hound Dixie passed away
C D G
Yeah I guess I've got things to be down about
C D
but in spite of it all honey ain't no doubt
[Chorus]
G D C
I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
G Am C D
Counting my blessings holding your hand
G D Em Em/D C
I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
G C D G
And for giving me the life of a lucky man
[Verse]
G C G
So many things we talk about never do come true
C
But Heaven knows I wish they could for you
D G C
Believe me I know you should be tempted to go
D
That would be the easy thing to do
C D G
So many just give up and walk away
C D
But in spite of it all you're strong enough to stay
[Chorus]
G D C
I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
G Am C D
Counting my blessings holding your hand
G D Em Em/D C
I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
G C D G
And for giving me the life of a lucky man
[Bridge]
Bm A G
Well I guess I've got things to be down about
D A G A
But in spite of it all, honey, aint no doubt
[Chorus]
G D C
I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
G Am C D
Counting my blessings holding your hand
G D Em Em/D C
I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
G C D G
And for giving me the life of a lucky man
