[Intro]
A B7 E
[Verse]
E              A
Lost my job, I lost my money.
B7                   E
I turned my back and lost my honey.
A                 B7              E     B7  E
Lord, I guess I'm just the losing kind.
E                       A
Lost my license cause I drove too fast.
B7                  E
Got in a game and I lost my cash.
A                 B7              E      E7
Lord, I guess I'm just the losing kind.
[Refrain]
A                          E
Someday the cops are gonna come around,
    B7                  E
And turn me over to the lost and found.
      A                    E
I was sittin' on the porch the other day,
                F                B7
And watched the finance man drive my car way.
E                       A
I'm too proud to crawl, I'm too weak to run.
B7                     E
I'd shoot myself but I lost my gun.
A                 B7              E
Lord, I guess I'm just the losing kind.

E                 A
The only way that I can win,
B7                  E
Is pick a fight and bet on him.
A                 B7              E      E7
Lord, I guess I'm just the losing kind.
[Refrain]
A                          E
Someday the cops are gonna come around,
    B7                  E
And turn me in to the lost and found.
  A                      E
I just got a letter from my baby of mine.
      F               B7
She's in Las Vegas and she likes it fine.
E                      A
I bet on the horses to recoop my losses.
B7                      E
And lose the tickets on the winning horses.
A                 B7              E
Lord, I guess I'm just the losing kind.
