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