■  ■ ■  ■ 
             A7              
Well you can stake that claim
Am7                          G       D
Good work is the key to good fortune ■
        D               
Winners take that praise
              A7        Am    C
Losers seldom take that blame ■
D               Am        A7  
■ If they don't take that game
C                 Am           G       D
And sometimes the winner takes nothing ■
        D              
We draw our own designs
                   D              
But fortune has to make that frame
C D G7 D7 A7 Em

D7    Am                            F      
We go out in the world and take our chances
D7      C                  Em            F G
Fate is just the weight of circumstances ■ ■
D7         Am                 F     
That's the way that Lady Luck dances
         D7    A7 Em

         A7         
Faith is cold as ice
        Am                       G      D
Why are little ones born only to suffer ■
        D               
For the want of immunity
     A7           C
Or a bowl of rice ■
D                Am          
■ Well who would hold a price
       Cmaj7    Am           G        D
On the heads of the innocent children ■
           D                  
If there's some immortal power
   Asus4       Am  
To control the dice
C D C D7 Am7 D7 G

Fate is just the weight of circumstances

That's the way that lady luck dances

[Verse]
G    C    
Jack relax
D                 B7   
Get busy with the facts
G                     
No zodiacs or almanacs
Em            G               
No maniacs in polyester slacks
         A7   
Just the facts
                        G  
Gonna kick some gluteus max
Em                  G  
It's a parallax you dig
    G          
You move around
Em                           
The small gets big it's a rig
Em7                 
It's action reaction
Em     G          
Random interaction
Bm       G     
So who's afraid
     G                 
Of a little abstraction
Em                       
Can't get no satisfaction
         D7    Em7
From the facts ■  
    G7                
You better run homeboy
G7             
A fact's a fact
                  Em  G C
From Nome to Rome boy ■ ■
D          Em7                
What's the deal Spin the wheel
       A7                      
If the dice are hot take a shot
G         Em    Bm                  
Play your cards show us what you got
            D      
What you're holding
G                    
If the cards are cold
Em              
Don't go folding
             Em7   
Lady Luck is golden
Am7                        Em7 
She favors the bold that's cold
E7                  
Stop throwing stones
G                                  
The night has a thousand saxophones
   G                     
So get out there and rock
             D7   
And roll the bones
    Am D7   Am D7
