Loserville by Stephen Simmons
Thatīs my vision of Loserville...
* Instead you can use a capo on 2 and play in key "A"
INTRO: B E B E
B
Well itīs another dead night around here
E
Another Saturday night here in Loserville
C#m F#
And all us losers are looking for something to do
B
Well Robert Earleīs my best friend
E
And my Daddy used to work with his
C#m F#
Way back before they shut down the Textile Mill
B
Well Bobby and William both live up the road
E
And Iīve known īem for years now forever I suppose
C#m F#
Not a bad group all in all as losers go
B
Well I stole a twenty from my old Manīs wallet just cause it was there
E
And we took off down the road just drinking our beer
C#m F#
A dangerous combination of nothing to lose and nothing to fear
CHORUS:
G#m E
I didnīt know just how fast life goes
G#m E
Took it for granted just because it wasenīt fun I suppose, I suppose
Play INTRO
B
Well old man Jonhson lives on the outskirts of town
E
That crazy old man, nobody goes around
C#m F#
Nobody īcept for punks like me and my friends
B
Weīd pull up in his yard and throw bottles at his house
E
Open all his gates and let his cattle out
C#m F#
And just for a laugh drive back by again
B
Well I guess he finally got tired of all our s**t
E
The day he came running out of that house choking that thirty-ought six
C#m F#
I just prayed to God that heīd miss
B
Well I heard the glass shatter and blood hit the dash
E
Hear Bobby screaming but William didnīt make a sound
C#m F#
And I was going too fast to ever slow down
B
Well I tried to gain control but I ran off the road
E
Ran right through his front yard right through his soul
C#m F#
The look on that old manīs face forever etched in stone
Play CHORUS
Play INTRO
B
Well Williamīs been dead for almost six years
E
Heard Bobby moved off and had a couple kids
C#m F#
And they say Robert Earle these days most of the time donīt even know where he is
B
But he was in the front seat with me on that cold January day
E
The day that old man bloodied that nasty Chevrolet
C#m F#
I still remember him screaming "Look Out", guess those were the last words that heīd ever say
B
Well me I finally got out of that town
E
Got thirty more years and I figure Iīm Hell bound
C#m F#
Sometimes Iīd like to say that Iīm sorry, buy I donīt know just who I would tell
Play CHORUS
E B E
I suppose, I suppose, I suppose
END:
B E
But me I canīt help wonder tonight in my cell, whatīs going on tonight...
B
Down in Loserville
