Hard Luck Dave

• E5

Notes: I figured the bass line out on a normal guitar, so if it's 
an actave to low, just go up to the next octave. The guitars don't 
do too much in this song. The lyrics are probably wrong, but it's 
what I heard on the first listen. Comments and corrections welcome.

Lyrics: 
 
If you listen to hard luck Dave 
He won the raffle but he lost the lottery 
Crashed his car but he got no sympathy 
Got on the wrong side of an angry mans hand 
His hard luck always comes along in three's 
One, two, three 
Hard luck in three's 
One, two, three 
Hard luck in three's 
 
And it's warm here in hell today 
Another hour, another penny saved 
And the silent hand of discontent  
An un-welcome anchor on my temperament  
It's heaven sent 
It's heaven sent 
It's heaven sent 
Oh It's heaven sent 
 
Good-bye hard luck days 
Nobody can hang the blame on you 
I said good-bye hard luck days 
No-one can hang the blame to you 
 
Unlucky dreams 
One, two, one, two, three 
 
If you listen to hard luck Dave 
He won the raffle but he lost the lottery 
Crashed his car but he got no sympathy 
Got on the wrong side of an angry mans hand 
His hard luck always comes along in three's 
One, two, three 
One, two, three 
Hard luck in three's 
One, two, three
