Subject: I Always get Lucky with you

Here ya go - one of my all time favorite waltzes.  To play it right, you'll
have to get those "demented" chord chops in gear!  Good luck.

I ALWAYS GET LUCKY WITH YOU
written by  Freddie Powers
performed by Merle Haggard and George Jones
charted by Bo Frazer <bfrazer@datamanagement.com>
(In my tab shorthand, "+" = augmented; "o" = diminished)
-------------------------------------------
Verse1:
         A              A+
I've had good luck, and bad luck
       D          D#o
And no luck, it's true,
      A          E          A    E  
But I always get lucky with you.

Verse2:
         A               A+
I've been turned on, and turned down
         D             D#o 
When the bars close at two,
      A          E          A     A7 
But I always get lucky with you.

Chorus:
         D           D#o             A      E7  A 
I've had two strikes against me most all of the time
              B7                             Bm7     E7
And when it's down to just a phone call, I'm minus a dime.

Verse3:
         A              A+
I've had good days, and bad days,
    D               D#o 
But when the day is through
  A          E          A     Ao
I always get lucky with you
      A          E          D     A
Oh, I always get lucky with you.
