i never thought my life could be
A D7
anything but catastrophe
G D7 A D
but suddenly i begin to see
E A
a bit of good luck for me

G D G D
’cause i’ve got a golden ticket
G D B7 E
i’ve got a golden twinkle in my eye

Dmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 A7

i never had a chance to shine
never a happy song to sing
but suddenly half the world is mine
what an amazing thing

’cause i’ve got a golden ticket
i’ve got a golden sun up in the sky

G
i never thought i’d see the day
G
when i would face the world and say
D Am D7
good morning , look at the sun
G
i never thought that i would be
G
slap in the lap of luxury
D E7 A7
’cause i’d have said it couldn’t be done
A7
but it can be done

i never dreamed that i would climb
over the moon in ecstasy
but nevertheless , it’s there that i’m
shortly about to be

G D G D
’cause i’ve got a golden ticket
G D B7 E
i’ve got a golden chance to make my way
G A D
and with a golden ticket , it’s a golden day
