Lucky Man

LUCKY MAN - Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Tabbed by: Adam B.
Email: A*

Tuning: Standard

Please rate this tab and offer any suggestions or comments.

Notes:
It also in 6/8 time- so accents are on first and fourth beat
Notes in parentheses are sometimes played and some times not played.
For Guitar 2 in the intro, the notes on the highest three strings are very quiet until
D, where they are loud again. I don’t play them because you can only hear them if guitar
isn’t playing, and I recommend you don’t either.

Play intro twice

Verse 1:
G              D
He had white horses
G                   D
And ladies by the score
G                    D
All were dressed in satin
G                   D
And waiting by the door


Chorus:
Am             Em          D    Dsus4  D Dsus2 D     Dsus4  D Dsus2
Oooh, What a lucky man he was
Am             Em          D    Dsus4  D Dsus2 D
Oooh, What a lucky man he was


Play solo


Verse 2:
G                   D
Lightless and feathers
G                 D
They made up his bed
G                 D
A gold covered mattress
G                 D
On which he was laid


Play chorus


Verse 3:
G                 D
He went to fight wars
G                        D
For his country and his king
G                      D
Of his honor and his glory
G                 D
The people would sing


Play chorus


Verse 4:
G                D
A bullet had found him
G                    D
His blood ran as he died
G                D
No money could save him
G                      D
So he laid down and he died

End with a synthesizer solo with verse and chorus chords
Then stop playing guitar and just finish with synthesizer and drums
