Introd.: D A G A GVerse one D Bad luck and trouble's my only friend I've been down ever since I was tenD Born under a bad sign I've been down since I began to crawl A If it wasn't for bad luck G I wouldn't have no luck at allInterlude: D A G A G D Wine and women is all I crave A big legged woman's gonna carry me to my graveD I can´t read, never learned how to write My whole life is one big fight I can´t read, never learned how to write My whole life is one big fightD Born under a bad sign I've been down since I began to crawl A If it wasn't for bad luck G I wouldn't have no luck A If it wasn't for real bad luck G I wouldn't have no luck at all
