intro: Eb, Bb

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

Ab            Eb
Born to lose, was what they said,
Bb                        Eb fill
You know I was better off dead.
Ab            Eb
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
Bb            Ab            Eb
You don't get no second chance.

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


Ab            Eb
Born to lose, was what they said,
Bb                        Eb fill
You know I was better off dead.
Ab            Eb
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
Bb            Ab            Eb      
You don't get no second chance.

Solo

Eb                                             Ab
I tried to get myself a job Because that's the way that Things are, 
Eb                            Bb    
wanna have nice Things and go far. 
Eb                                     Ab
Well I'm sorry Honey, I ain't got much money
Eb                       Bb       Eb            
But I can sure play this here old Guitar. 
Eb                     Ab 
As the years went on, I made a few mistakes 
Eb                                   Bb
it was a Troublebound for this young Man. 
Eb                               Ab
The police knockin' at my Door, "Well he don't live here noMore, 
Eb                    Ab           Eb
and he's playin' in a rock 'n'Roll band."


Ab            Eb
Born to lose, was what they said,
Bb                        Eb fill
You know I was better off dead.
Ab            Eb
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
Bb            Ab            Eb
You don't get no second chance.
