G                                      C              G
Lightning hit that oak tree we've been lookin' at for years
                                      C
This summer, oh I know we'll miss the shade
                D                   G              C
We just made it through The coldest winter we ever knew
                                 D
And our ol’ hound Dixie passed away
       C              D            G
Yeah I guess I've got things to be down about
       C               D
but in spite of it all honey ain't no doubt


[Chorus]
    G          D         C
I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
G           Am        C            D
Counting my blessings holding your hand
  G               D        Em     Em/D     C
I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
        G             C         D     G
And for giving me the life of a lucky man


[Verse]
G                            C             G
So many things we talk about never do come true
                                       C
But Heaven knows I wish they could for you
             D                  G          C
Believe me I know you should be tempted to go
                                D
That would be the easy thing to do
   C              D      G
So many just give up and walk away
       C                      D
But in spite of it all you're strong enough to stay


[Chorus]
    G          D         C
I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
G           Am        C            D
Counting my blessings holding your hand
  G               D        Em     Em/D     C
I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
        G             C         D     G
And for giving me the life of a lucky man


[Bridge]
       Bm             A            G
Well I guess I've got things to be down about
       D           A    G              A
But in spite of it all, honey, aint no doubt


[Chorus]
    G          D         C
I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
G           Am        C            D
Counting my blessings holding your hand
  G               D        Em     Em/D     C
I thank the Lord above for sending me your love
        G             C         D     G
And for giving me the life of a lucky man
