CAPO 1
[Verse 1]
ELucky are the leaves of the clover,
She's diggin for Cchemistry with the butAcher's tools,
EShifty are the eyes of the gambler,
He's making his tCricks -- and a jAob well done.
[Pre-Chorus]
CThrough the motions waving wishes to your Gconfidence and Aeloquence,
[Chorus]
He's Eturning a-green from these envious glorious things,
Applied amCbitious faith that can keep Aus all safe,
InvEoking a blue that's meant for us too, 
What small Camazing things we will turn to Arain,
[Verse 2]
ELucky is a deer in the headlights,
Those two are as Cthick as thieves - not a Apenny more,
EShaky are the hands of the gun shy,
He'd rather give Cup the ghost than stick Aby,
[Pre-Chorus]
CThrough the motions waving wishes to your Gconfidence and Aeloquence,
[Chorus]
He's Eturning a-green from these envious glorious things,
Applied amCbitious faith that can keep Aus all safe,
InvEoking a blue that's meant for us too, 
What small Camazing things we will turn to Arain,
[Bridge]
EmGather 'round, hold your gGlasses uAp high,
Drink to Clove while we Dwait for Emhigh tide,
Keep it Emshort, keep it Gbrief,
You have Amy word,
Gather 'Cround while Dwe wait for high Emtide,
[Chorus 2]
He's Eturning a-green from these envious glorious things,
Applied amCbitious faith that can keep Aus all safe,
EResponse recedes like fur; we're all a mess as though we oCwe him Aa favor...
