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