Born Under A Bad Sign

C#	G#	F#
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, 
You know I wouldn't have no luck at all

Hard luck and trouble
Been my only friend
I been on my own
Ever since I was ten

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, 
You know I wouldn't have no luck at all

I can't read
I didn't learn how to write
My whole life has been
One big fight

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, 
I say I wouldn't have no luck at all

That ain't no lie ... (solo)

You know if it wasn't for bad luck 
I wouldn't have no kinda luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, 
I wouldn't have no luck at all

You know wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, 
I tell ya I wouldn't have no luck at all

Yeah my bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
