Fits my life

Gonna give me a whirl
Em C
On a Tennessee Saturday night
G
Lucky as a seven
D
Livin' in heaven
Cm G
with my Dixieland Delight
(repeat cho)
a few strange chord progressions follow the 2nd chorus; something like
C, D, Em a couple of times, and I believe the key changes to A (so, of
course, either capo the 2nd fret now, or play all the chords a whole step
higher than they are written here)
a fiddle solo ensues, and the tempo increases and they fade out, singing
verse one again.
