Okay. The verse is the same as the intro, but you hold those Bm? chords, no 12 string
over them. Do this for 3 verses, the fourth is:
Em----Em----Gmaj---Amaj---- Then
I'd find an open space for me to live out all my dreams
Em Gmaj Amaj
Then the chorus, which is as follows. *note, the guitar is kept in time, the singer
I think about 1/4 measure before the repeat of the chorus.
Lucky man Strong man Tear Weaker \/
Dmaj (7th fret) A Bm G /\ 2 times
Then there is this
Iremember all the things that I been through
EM Amaj
Gave myself to all those people I once knew
Em Gmaj Amaj Amaj
Here is the fun!! the first Rossington lead.
The backup for here is as follows:
Dmaj (7th fret) A Bm G
The lead is this: *not in time with the chords above*

Repeat the verse and the chorus.
Repeat the chorus but DO NOT SING IT. This is the fun part for us guitarist, the 2nd
for Rossington. you repeat the ENTIRE chorus as the back up for the guitar and piano. the
is as follows: * If you want to try to figure out the piano, it is in Dm Aoleon.*

Then you do the chorus as follows:
Lucky man Strong man Tear Weaker \/
Dmaj (7th fret) A Bm G /\ 2 times
then you do this :
Im a lucky man, I've given all I can
Dmaj Amaj Bm Amaj Gmaj
Gary lead over the above, it is as follows

Now is the very ending, you repeat the intro 1 time, then play the verse over and over
you fade out. Hughie Thomasson played lead here; And it is on the Bm Aoleon scale
MMmmmMMMmmm...
Well it took so long for me to realize
That my destiny was right before my eyes
If it were up to me to travel through this life
I'd find an open space for me to live out all my dreams
I'm such a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man
I remember all the things I've been through
Gave myself to all those people I once knew
I'm such a lucky man
I'd like to thank you for the times that you have been with me
I hope it meant as much to you to share these memories
There's a guiding light that always seems to shine on me
If I did it again I'd be happy 'til the end
I'm a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man
I remember all the things I've been through
Gave myself to all those people I once knew
I'm such a lucky man
It's right here in the moonlight...
Whooohhhooohhhh
I'm a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man
I'm a lucky man
Yeah
MMMmmmMMMmmm....I'm a lucky man
Whoooohhhooohhhh... just a lucky man
