As recorded by Muddy Waters (From the 1981 Album KING BEE) [Intro] E7 B7 [Verse 1]
             E7
Well someone made a mistake

A7                                     E7
When they said life was a bowl of fruit

                  A7
You know I had to go downtown

                     E7
And pawn my last suit

           B7
You know I can see I was born to lose

A7                                        E7
For me there isn't no escape from the blues
[Verse 2]
B7                 E7
You know I haven't seen or heard from my woman

A7                           A7
Since the last day I got paid

             A7
She said son if you haven't got no money

                                             E7
I'm not going to hang around and be your maid

           B7
You know I can see I was born to lose

A7                                        E7   B7
For me there isn't no escape from the blues
[Verse 3]
       E7
Well I broke down hungry

A7                              E7
I got to go out to the well yard

             A7
I got to get myself a food stamp

                                   E7
So I can buy myself a cup of coffee

           B7
You know I can see I was born to lose

A7                                        E7   B7
For me there isn't no escape from the blues
[Verse 4]
               E7
You know I had worn out my shoes

A7                              E7
And now I'm wearing out my socks

                 A7
Well I ain't got no rent to pay, no rent to pay

                                    E7
They're changing my front door locks

           B7
You know I can see I was born to lose

A7                                        E7
For me there isn't no escape from the blues
