Intro: | G D | G D |

G            D          G             D
He had white horses and ladies by the score
G              D         G             D
All dressed in satin and waiting by the door

Am            Em           D
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Am            Em           D
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

G              D              G           D
White lace and feathers, they made up his bed
  G            D           G            D
A gold covered mattress on which he was led

Am            Em           D
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Am            Em           D
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

   G             D            G               D
He went to fight wars for his country and his king
       G              D          G            D
Of his honour and his glory, the people would sing

Am            Em           D
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Am            Em           D
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

  G          D              G               D
A bullet had found him, his blood ran as he cried
   G           D              G                D
No money could save him so he laid down and he died

Am            Em           D
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Am            Em           D
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
