Lick Dm C Bb A7
Dm Gm
I blew my wad playing seven-card-stud
Dm Bb A7
I was playing for money, they was playing for blood
Dm A7
On the way back home the
F G Bb A7 Dm
big winner got mugged Now he's just another loser like me
Lick Dm C Bb A7
Dm Gm
See that kid sitting back at the bar
Dm Bb A7
He's picking up a storm on a Martin guitar
Dm A7 F G
That poor fool thinks he's gonna be a star
Bb A7 Dm
He's just another loser like me
F Dm
Losers, losers
Bb A7
Some are raggers, some are bluesers
Dm A7 F G
Makin' disco sounds in a HoJo lounge
Bb A7 Dm
With a bunch of other losers like me
Love has busted up this cat for sure
He's crying like a baby at his baby's door
That poor fool don't know what he's crying for
He's just another loser like me
Losers, losers
Can't say no to cruisers
When she says "When he'll be back again?"
He's just another loser like me
There's a hobo up in heaven on the golden street
He'll panhandle every angel that he'll meet
He'd hock his harp for some Sneaky Pete
He's just another loser like me
Losers, losers
Some are dopers, some are boozers
All the muscatel is down in hell
He's just another loser like me
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dave_van_ronk/losers_crd.html ]
When God appeared to Saint John Wayne
He told him "Duke, I'm a-coming again
Life is just a wagon train
I'm glad you're not a loser like me"
Losers, losers
Ten gallon bruisers
From Genghis Khan to the Fuller Brush Man
They're just a bunch of losers like me
