The Loser chords by Johnny Paycheck

Verse 1
(C major) One rainy morning, just before dawn,
there was born a young child. (G major) (G minor) (G major)
His mama, she died,
had given him (C major) birth,
(G major) and his (B flat major) daddy was known as (C major) a boozer.
He lay in the arms of the next
-door neighbor
who had helped bring him into this (G major) world.
For her it was through, but she cried
cause she knew he (C major) was
(B flat major) destined to be a loser. (C major)
As he started growin',
it started showin'
That someday he'd turn out bad (G major)
The old man would beat him,
kick and mistreat him
And the (B flat major) years had made
him hate that old booz (C major) er
As the years went by, the old man died,
and a boy became a man at four (G major) teen
When he walked down the street,
he was dirt beneath the feet of the
people (B flat major) who wouldn't help the loser (C major)
So he got a gun, became a man on the run
A man facin' life in (G major) jail
Robbin' and shootin',
killin' and lootin'
And with (B flat major) every step,
cussin' the old blues (C major)
The wrong side of the tracks
and these welts on my back
Have made me what I am today (G major)
And with each passing day
I get closer to a grave
A (B flat major) grave simply marked the loser (C major)
