Here is a chopro version and a text version.  I got the lyrics from
an Albert King version.  I play the bass and haven't tabbed that
yet but maybe I will get around to it soon.  I'm not sure if the
chord changes are exactly right.

{t:Born Under a Bad Sign}
{st:Willie Dixon? as sung by Albert King}

[E]Born under a bad sign,
[E]I've been down since I began to crawl
[B]  If it wasn't for bad luck
[A]  I wouldn't have no luck at [E]all

[E]Hard luck and trouble's 
[E]been my only friend
[E]I've been down ever [E]since I was ten
[E]Born under a bad sign,
[E]I've been down since I began to crawl
[B]  If it wasn't for bad luck
[A]  I wouldn't have no luck at [E]all

[E]I can't read
[E]Didn't learn how to write
[E]My whole life has been [E]one big fight 
[E]Born under a bad sign,
[E]I've been down since I began to crawl
[B]  If it wasn't for bad luck
[A]  I wouldn't have no luck at [E]all (that ain't no lie)


[E]Ya know wine and women
[E]is all I crave
[E]a big bad women's [E]gonna carry me to my grave
[E]Born under a bad sign,
[E]I've been down since I began to crawl
[B]  If it wasn't for bad luck
[A]  I wouldn't have no luck at [E]all

[E]I'm a bad luck boy
