Here are a few small changes to the prior transcription to "Born To Lose"
from the great social distortion album "somewhere between heaven and
hell" from 1992. Technically, it's in the key of 
Eb MajorEb as all of the
songs from this record are in flat keys. To enable you to play with
open position power chords and to get the classic social distortion
sound, tune your guitar down a half step or 1 semitone. Doing this also
eliminates writing all the "flats" in the transcription. These notes
are my own work. ---- steve wolfe
Play the chords using the following fingerings with a palm mute on the E MajorE
chord:
(E MajorE) (A augmentedA) (BB)
E--------------------------------
B--------------------------------
G----------------2------4------
D----------2-----2------4------
A----------2-----0------2------
E----------0---------------------
Also, the cool little phrase leading from the E MajorE to the A augmentedA chord in the
chorus is simply as follows, and not as the previous transcriber wrote:
E--------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------
G-----------------------------2-------
D-----2----------------------2-------
A-----2----------------------0-------
E-----0----0-0-2-2-4-4-----------
I will be submitting many social distortion songs in the near future.
