D Bm G

[Chorus 4]
F#m Bm
Me, I'm just a lucky guy
F#m D
I'm young and free, too hard to cry
What must I do to take a holiday
Show me a bill that they can make me pay
And tell me a story
And maybe I'll believe it
Me, I'm just a lucky guy
I'm young and free, too hard to cry
Oh-oh-oh
Lorna from my school she's 21 (she's 21)
She's good looking and a married girl (she's a married girl)
So tell me a story (tell me stories)
And man, I ain't complaining (man, I ain't complaining)
Me, I'm just a lucky guy
I'm young and hard, too tough to cry
Too tough
Standing in a show, the lights ain't low
They're shining down on me
I like, I like it
Just like I like, I like it
I'm taking like I find it
What did they do to chill the joy away
What did they do to say you had to pay and pay and pay
Tell me stories (tell me stories)
Know I never can believe 'em, never (never)
Me, I'm just a lucky guy
I'm young and free, too dumb to cry
What must I do to take a holiday?
Show me a bill that they can make me pay
And tell me a story
And maybe I'll believe it
Me, I'm just a lucky guy
I'm young and free, too hard to cry
