to make their life complete.

Not me, not me.

(Key of G)
As I walk down the street
C
Seems everyone I meet
G G9 c7
Gives me a friendly hello
Gm6/Bb A7 Am7/D D9 G6 Fmaj7 Eb D7

The birds in every tree
Are all so neighborly

They sing wherever I go

I guess I'm just a lucky so and so

If you should ask me the amount
Gmaj7
In my bank account
C13 Gmaj7
I'd have to confess that I'm slippin'
F#m7b5 B7 em G#m7b5
But that don't worry me, confidentially
D/A A7b9 Am7/D D9
I've got a dream that's a-pippin'
G
And when the day is through
C
Each night I hurry to
G G9 C7
A home where love waits, I know
Gm6/Bb A7 Am7/D D9 G6 Fmaj7 Eb D7
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
G
And when the day is through
C
Each night I hurry to
G G9 C7
A home where love waits, I know
Gm6/Bb Am7/D D9 G C/G G6/9
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
