Get Lucky Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Mark Knopfler
Another user did a pretty good job of tabbing this song, but I found that a few of his 
notes were off. The key is to keep the bass line with your thumb during the intro. Sorry 
for the messy tab, it's my first one.

Capo: 4

( ) indicates a ghost note, or a note that is played quieter than the others. Listen to 
the song for the exact rhythm on the intro.

 G
I am better with my muscles

Than I am with my mouth
                  G7              C/G
I work the fair grounds in the summer
                                  G
Or go pick fruit down south
      G
And when I feel them chilly winds

Where the weather goes I'll follow
 G7          C
Pack up my travelling things
              G
Go with the swallows

                 D/F#               D/F#  D7/F#
And I might get Lucky now and then
     G        G/C
You win some
             Am                 Am7  C
I might get lucky now and then
     G        C/G  C/G
You win some

   G
I wake up every morning

Keep an eye on what I spend
G7                   C/G
Got to think about eating
                               G
Got to think about paying the rent

I always think it's funny

It gets me every time
      G7                      C/G
That one about happiness and money?
                     G
Tell it to the breadline

                   D/F#               D/F#  D7/F#
But you might get Lucky now and then
     G        C
You win some
               Am                 Am7  C
You might get Lucky now and then
          G        C/G  G  G
Yeah you win some

           Bm
Now I'm a rambling through this meadow
 Em                    Em7
Happy as a man can be
 C                G           D/F#
Think I'll just lay me down
                     D7/F#
Under this old tree
G
On and on we go

Through this old world a shuffling
 G7                      C
If you've got a truffle dog
                  G
You can go truffling

                   D/F#               D/F#  D7/F#
And you might get Lucky now and then
     G        C
You win some
               Am                 Am7  C
You might get Lucky now and then

Yeah you win some
