Johnny Cash - Thirteen Lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
[A]
Bad luck wind been blowing at my back [D] I was born to bring trouble [C] to wherever [A] I'm at
[Am] Got the number 13 [A] tattooed on my neck When the ink starts to itch then [C] the black will [A] turn to red
I was born in the soul of misery [D] Never had me [A] a name
[D] They just gave [C] me the number [Em] when I [A] was young
Got a long line of heartache I carry it well
[Am] The [D] list of lives I've broken [C]
reach from [A] here to hell
Bad luck wind been blowing at my back I pray you don't look at [C] me I pray I [A] don't look back
I was [A] born in the soul of misery [Am] [D] Never had me a name
[A]
They just gave [C] me the [Em] number when I [A] was young
[D] I was born in the soul of [Am] misery [D]
Never had [A] me a name
[D] They just gave me [C] the number [Em] when I [A] was young
[D]
They just gave me [C] the number [Em] when I [A] was young
[Am]
