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:
D A Cadd9 D
Of all the love I have won or have lost
D A Cadd9 D
There is one love I should never have crossed.

He was a boy in a million, my friend
D A Cadd9 D
I should have known he would win in the end.
CHORUS:
Em A
I'm a loser
Em A
And I lost someone who's near to me.
