How Lucky - John Prine 1980 (stereo) chords
Start Jamming...
[E] Garrett, I have a whole lot of growing pain from you.
[G] Got somewhere around the age of 30.
[Em] [Abm] Well, [E] [Bm] that's [N] somewhere.
I never thought the age mattered much.
I just thought that age was something that, you know,
just was there every year, like freshman.
You know, I just never thought it mattered a whole lot, but I guess it started.
It mattered a whole lot to me.
[B] It seemed like I [E] started [N] going back over everything I'd ever done
and wondered if I wanted to do that when I was [E] 30 or not, you know.
[G] I finally decided, what the [E] heck, I might as well.
So far, so good.
Yeah.
I think the song kind of, [B] certainly doesn't sum up [E] anything,
but I think it's where this got started.
I would have finished this thing the same day I started it,
but [B] the radiator hose on my car [E] broke.
You know how little things like that can stop great novels and insignificant songs?
Everything.
Let's play How Lucky Can One Man Get?
Got it.

[E] See I walk down the street I [A] used to walk
Just [E] shaking my head
And [Em] leave [B] myself a bit
