This song can be played with a capo or without. So, I’m going to put out both versions at the same time. The capoed version is first:

The lucky fact of your existence
Bm
Baby I would climb the Andes solely

To count the freckles on your body

Never could imagine there were only

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
F#m
They spill kisses like a fountain
G
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
D A
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Bm
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
F#m
To run for cover when I need it
G
And these two eyes that for no other
D A
The day you leave will cry a river

Lost in my eyes!

You've got me head over heels
Bm G
There's nothing left to fear
Em A
If you really feel the way I feel
