Tom: G

 Am                 D            Am
Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back,
       D                          C        Am
I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at.
                       D             Am
Got the number 13 tattooed on my neck,
         D                              C                Am
when the ink starts to itch, then the black will turn to red.

       D                     Am        D                    Am
I was born in the soul of misery,           never had me a name,
  D                    C         G      Am
they just gave me the number when I was young.

     Am                          D                Am
Gonna find me a preacher man, confessing all I've done,
           D                        C            Am
or you can catch me with the devil playing twenty one.
                     D            Am
Bad luck wind been blowing at my back,
    D                           C                Am
I pray you don't look at me, I pray I don't look back.

       D                     Am        D                    Am
I was born in the soul of misery,           never had me a name,
  D                    C         G      Am
they just gave me the number when I was young.

   Am                        D       Am
Got a long line of heartache, I carry it well,
     D                          C                Am
the list of lives I've broken reach from here to hell.
                   D            Am
Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back,
       D                           C       Am
I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at.
