Dan O'Connell over at the "Just Plain Folks" forum suggested that I look at this one and thanks to Dan. I found the guitar tab online at http://www.azchords.com and also there was a u-tube video of Dave Van Ronk singing it. I couldn't do it in his husky vocal style and I think I slowed it down just a bit. Added a few little touches of my own on guitar and some minor lyric revision. Hope all you losers enjoy it. \:\) Song page: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8405016 Losers written by: Dave Van Ronk I blew my wad playing seven-card-stud I was playing for money, they was playing for blood On the way back home the big winner got mugged Now he's just another loser like me Losers, losers I got took for my Hoosers That shah got crowned His growin' been bound, He's just another loser like me See that kid sitting back at the bar He's picking up a storm on a Martin guitar That poor fool thinks he's gonna be a star He's just another loser like me Losers, losers Some are raggers, some are bluesers Makin' disco sounds in a HoJo lounge 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 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 Pete Gallatin http://www.reverbnation.com/patiopete
