EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER : LUCKY MAN (1970)

Μια ακόμα σπουδαία συμβολή του stcigar στο τρέχον αφιέρωμα αφορά σ’ αυτό εδώ το μικρό αριστούργημα από τον πρώτο δίσκο των ELP (1970). Ο μπασίστας, κιθαρίστας και τραγουδιστής του γκρουπ, Greg Lake, το έγραψε σε ηλικία 12 ετών, με τις πρώτες συγχορδίες που είχε μάθει στην κιθάρα… 🟡 🟡 Another great contribution from stcigar to the current tribute is this little jewel from the first album by ELP (1970). The group’s bassist, guitarist and singer, Greg Lake, wrote it at the age of 12, using the very first chords he had learned on the guitar…

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

    “Lucky Man” is my favorite ELP song. My brother had the album.

      One of my favorites also. Certainly No 1 on this album!

    An ELP song under five minutes? Scandalous! G, D and Am – classic beginner chords 😀
