Ball and Chain
guitar chords lyrics
I have seen this so many times as D A G D....but if you listen and play with the
song it has to be C# G# F# C# in a standard tune. So here it is!! Played in the
same tune as Social Distortion!!!
(intro) 2x C# G# F# C# (solo) with 4x C# G# F# C#
C# G#
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
F# C#
And look at the mess I'm in-
C# G#
A broken nose and a broken heart,
F# C#
An empty bottle of gin
C# G#
Well I sit and I pray
F# C#
In my broken down Chevrolet-
C# G#
While I'm singin' to myself
F# C#
There's got to be another way
3x C# G# F# C#
Take a way, take away,
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
(let F# ring)
Take away, take away
(music pauses)
Take away this ball and chain
2x C# G# F# C#
4x C# G# F# C#
Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life-
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife-
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there-
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere
3x C# G# F# C#
Take a way, take away,
Take away this ball and chain
I'm sick and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
(let F# ring)
Take away, take away
(music pauses)
Take away this ball and chain
2x C# G# F# C#
(solo) with 4x C# G# F# C#
4x C# G# F# C#
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room-
I spent all my money
Been drinkin' since half past noon-
I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail-
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail-
3x C# G# F# C#
Take a way, take away,
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
(let F# ring)
Take away, take away
(music pauses)
Take away this ball and chain
(outro)
4x C# G# F# C#
