Tabbed by: KM
It's my first chord/tab, so be nice to me if it isn't spot on! This cover of
the Beatles song is good if you have a soprano voice, it's just a bit higher
than the original.

VERSE 1:
Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed.
He was a boy in a million, my friend
I should have known he would win in the end.
CHORUS:
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.
VERSE 2:
Although I laugh and I act like a clown,
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown.
My tears are falling like rain from the sky,
Is it for him or myself that I cry?
CHORUS:
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.
SOLO-y PART (Verse chords):
CHORUS:
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.
VERSE 3:
What have I done to deserve such a fate?
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true pride comes before a fall,
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all.
CHORUS:
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.
I'm a loser
End on D
