Verse:

Eb                    Abm
Waiting tables at the burger stand
Eb               Abm
You were sitting alone
  G7                         Cm
I came up for your order and asked you what you want
         Fm                   Bb       Bb7
You said "do you really wanna know?"

Eb                        Abm
Just got to town I didn’t have a friend, no,
Eb                   Abm
I didn't even have a car
G7                        Cm
Down at the three clubs I wrote you a poem
Fm                  Bb            Bb7
And you bought the drinks at the bar


Chorus:

N.C.    Eb
Oh then you
                  Ab
Fell in love with me
Bb
Yes you did
    Eb                Ab
You took me to A from Z
Bb
Yes you did
          Eb        D         Db    C7
There was something you could see
      Cm            G7
I was broken, I was poor,
Eb                       F7
And you said I could be yours
Ab                    Bb   Bb7
Though I don't have a dime
     Fm       Bb        Eb
Even bums get lucky sometimes


Eb Ab Bb  x2


Verse:

Eb                  Abm
I have never been a hero
Eb                         Abm
I can't pretend to  have a plan
     G7                Cm
No I just want to be a regular guy
     Fm                   Bb   Bb7
Does that mean I could be your man

Eb                  Abm
Not strong or fast, wasn’t good in school
Eb                  Abm
Yes when I sing I’m flat or sharp
G7                 Cm
Then you took your aim at me
        Fm              Bb         Bb7
And you shot your arrow through my heart


Chorus:

N.C.    Eb
Oh when you
                  Ab
Fell in love with me
Bb
Yes you did
    Eb                Ab
You took me to A from Z
Bb
Yes you did
          Eb        D         Db    C7
There was something you could see
   Cm         G7
Oh I found my key
         Eb            F7
We’re in perfect harmony
     Ab              Bb    Bb7
With every verse and rhyme

Even bums get lucky sometimes

But sometimes you get something
     Ab               Bb
Yeah just for hanging around
     Fm       Bb        Eb
Even bums get lucky sometimes
