Intro: D#  A#

D#                          G#
I was brought in this world 1962
D#                            A#
I didn't have much choice you see
           D#                      
But by the time I was eight, I 
  G#
could tell it was too late
D#            A#                 
I was already barking up the 
   D#
wrong tree
D#                       G#
When I was in school you thought I 
was a fool
D#          A#
In trouble, Breaking all the rules
D#                                
I was absent from class, My daddy 
G#
spanked my bare ass
D#               A#         D#
But I sure tried hard to be cool

G#            D#
Born to lose, was what they said
A#                        D# fill
You know I was better off dead
G#            D#
Born to lose, you're just bad news

It was a hot summer night in mid 
G#
July
D#                     A#
A hangover and a black eye
D#                             G#
Your momma said I was a loser, A 
dead end cruiser
D#                 A#            
And deep inside I knew that she 
   D#
was right

D#                                
I tried to get myself a job 
             G#
Because that's the way that Things 
are

D#                                
Well I'm sorry Honey, I ain't got 
     G#
much money
D#                       A#       
But I can sure play this here old 
D#
Guitar
D#                     G#
As the years went on, I made a few 
mistakes
D#                                
it was a Troublebound for this 
   A#
young Man
D#                            
The police knockin' at my Door, 
   G#
"Well he don't live here noMore
D#                    G#

 D#
