Lucky Day
by Tom Waits
Em* x79987
C* x35553
Intro: E--3--5--10--
G
The prettiest girl
B Em*
In all the world
A D G
Is in a little Spanish town
B Em*
But I left her for a Bonnie lass
A
And I told her
D
I'd see her around
G
But that Bonnie lass
C*
And her heart of glass
A
Would not hold a candle
D
To bumming around
G
So don't cry for me
B Em*
For I'm going away
A D G
And I'll be back some lucky day
Tell the boys back home
I'm doing just fine
I left my troubles and woe
So sing about me
For I can't come home
I've many more miles to go
Why, there's Miss Kelsey
You taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O'Toole
I'll still beat you at pool
So don't cry for me
For I'm going away
ANd I'll be back some lucky day
Now when I was a boy
My daddy sat me on his knee
And he told me
He told me many things
And he said sone
There's a lot of things in this world
You're gonna have no use for
ANd when you get blue
And you've lost all your dreams
There's nothin' like a campfire
And a can of beans
Why, there's Miss Kelsey
She taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O'Toole
I'll still beat you at pool
So don't cry for me
For I'm going away
And I'll be back some lucky day

Thank you. The song is actually in F#, but I can tune my guitar down a half step or sing it in G. The rest of the chords are correct in G and I was going crazy trying to figure them out until I saw your post here.

Pretty sure the chords are not in the same pattern the whole song through, for instance the Miss Kelsey line doesn't sound right with a B being played

from which album is this? It is not even close to the Black Rider version which is in C# and have different chord structure
