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

Chorus:
C                G
Take away, take away
       F                  C
Take away this ball and chain
C                    G
I'm lonely and I'm tired
        F                  C
And I can't take any more pain
C                G
Take away, take away
      F           C
Never to return again
C                G
Take away, take away
       F                             C
Take away, take away this ball and chain

C                              G
Well I've searched and I've searched
     F                C
To find the perfect life
C                       G
A brand new car and a brand new suit
        F                C
I even got me a little wife
C                    G
But whenever I have gone
        F                    C
I was sure to find myself there
C                      G
You can run all your life
         F     C
But not go anywhere

(Repeat Chorus)

C                              G
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
        F           C
To my dingy hotel room
C                G
I spent all my money
         F                      C
Been drinkin' since half past noon
C                        G
I'll wake there in the mornin'
     F                   C
Or maybe in the county jail
C                        G
Times are hard getting harder
              F                    C
I'm born to lose and destined to fail

(Repeat Chorus)

You could figure out the outro based on the riffs above. It's really easy to figure out.
