Intro: D 

Verse 
                 D 
In a dirty hotel room 
                       G 
Somewhere in rainy California 
                            A 
Channel surfin' through the night 
                       D 
And there aint nothin' on 
                        D 
I went down to an empty bar 
                           G 
And I started talking to a stranger 
                           A 
He said "I come here every night 
                       D 
So I don't have to be alone" 

                         D 
I guess that I'm a lucky man 
                              A        D 
I guess that everything ain't all that bad 
                             Bm 
There's always somebody with less 
                   A 
I realize that I'm blessed 
      G                 D 
Now I understand, I'm a lucky man 

                           D 
Somewhere out there in the night 
                        G 
There must be a million people 
                       A 
They're just trying to survive 
           A 
Barely holding on 
                         D 
I can't feel sorry for myself 
                              G 
When everything ain't goin' my way 
                                     A 
'Cause I've got dreams and something else 
                        D 
I've got a reason to go on 

                         D 
I guess that I'm a lucky man 
                              A        D 
I guess that everything ain't all that bad 
                             Bm 
There's always somebody with less 
                   A 
I realize that I'm blessed 
      G                 D 
Now I understand, I'm a lucky man 

                      D 
I guess that I'm a lucky man 
                              A        D 
I guess that everything ain't all that bad 
                             Bm 
There's always somebody with less 
                   A 
I realize that I'm blessed 
      G                 D 
Now I understand, I'm a lucky man 

                   A 
I realize that I'm blessed 
      G                 D 
Now I understand, I'm a lucky man
