[Verse]
          D
Caught a string of
green lights on
     C
the way to work
       G
Got a hell of a deal
on a
field of dirt
      D
Been dry for a spell
finally
 C
got a little rain
       G
Got a midnight call
from my old flame

[Pre-Chorus]
     A         D
And I'm gonna ride
      A
this high

[Chorus]
           D
Don't you just get
           G
lucky sometimes
               D
Sometimes you just
get lucky
         A
And you don't
ask why
           Bm
It's like falling
up to heaven
     C
And coming up a
seven
 G
Every time you
roll
     E7
the dice
              G
You know you just
get lucky
Get lucky, get lucky
     D    C  G  D

How to play Lucky Sometimes: key, chords and progression

Lucky Sometimes by Midland keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 9 chords: D, C, G, A, Bm, E7, E, Gm and A#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – D – C – G (IV – I – ♭VII – IV in D major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm, Gm and A# are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
