Andy would bicycle [E] across town in the rain to bring you [B] candy.
John would buy the [E] gown for you to wear [B] to the prom with Tom,
the [E] astronomer who'd name a star [F#] after you.
But I'm the [B] luckiest guy on the low [G#m] east side.
[E] Cause I got wheels [D#m] and you wanna go [B] for a ride.
[E] [D#m]
[B]
[E] Harry [A#]
[B] is the one I think [E] you'll marry.
But [B] it's Chris that you kissed after [F#] school.
Well I'm [B] a fool, there's no doubt.
[E] But when the sun comes out, and [F#] only when the sun comes out,
I'm the [B] luckiest guy on the low [G#m] east side.
[E] Cause I got [F#] wheels and you wanna go [B] for a ride.

[E] The
[F#] day [E] is beautiful
[B] and [F#] so are you.
My car [E] is ugly but [B] then I'm [F#] ugly too.
I know [E] you'd never [B] give me [F#] a second glance.
But when the weather's nice [E] all the other [B] guys don't stand [F#] a chance.
[B] I know progressive blooming [E] makes you feel like a woman.
[B] But when the wind is in your hair [E] you laugh like a little girl.
So [B] you share secrets with Lou, [E] but we've got secrets too.
[F#] Well one, I only [E] keep this deep [F#] for you.
Cause I'm the [B] luckiest guy on the low [G#m] east side.
But
[E] I got wheels [F#] and you wanna go [B] for a [C#] [B] ride.
