G       Bm                         C        
Touch wood, thank my lucky stars, kissed a new born babe 
 Em                               G
today the flowers leap from the vase
Bm                            C
swerving 'round ladders, not steping on the cracks
     Em                                G   Bm  C  Em
The sheep will cheer me on with their baas
    G      Bm                           C
Magpies - give me two for joy, I won't need a ploy
   Em                           G
Today this big boy takes the prize
          Bm                               C
I've got clover with four leaves, it's my time to achieve 
         Em                  Am  C  D    Em              
You can see victory in my ee-eee-eee-eeys.

[Chorus]
    G          C          G              D 
Sometimes the demise, sometimes the world lies
    Am            C         D                     G      Bm C Em 
My hope's down the drain, my lucky pants failed me again

[Verse 2]
      G           Bm                          C
Black cats - They won't cross my path, I will do this, my love
         Em                         G
I will highfive the neighbors as I go
           Bm                         C 
Seize the bull by the horns, give me fortune in all forms
    Em                                G   Bm C Em
The greatest day the world will ever know
        G           Bm                         C
I'm a charm like a lovely Genghis Khan, I'll spread it near and far
      Em                             G
They say all the smiles descend from me.
          Bm                          C                 
Touch my elbow if you can, if you're happy hold my hand      
         Em                       Am  C  D  Em                         
I'm the greatest optimist in the see-ee-eea-aa

[Chorus]
     G          C          G             D 
Sometimes the demise, sometimes the world lies
    Am              C         D                     G      Bm C Em  G Bm 
My hope's down the drain, my lucky pants failed me again

[Outro]
                C        Em    G Bm
My lucky pants failed me again 
                C         Em   G Bm
my lucky pants failed me again
                C     Em   G
my lucky pants failed me
