D A G D 2x
D A
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
G D
And look at the mess that I'm in.
D A
A broken nose and a broken heart
G D
An empty bottle of gin
D A
Well I sit and I pray
G D
In my broken down Chevorlete
D A
Well I'm singing to myself,
G D
There's got to be another way
Chorus
D A
Take away, take away
G D
Take away this ball and chain
D A
Well I'm lonley and I'm tired
G D
And I can't take anymore pain.
D A
Take away, take away,
G D
Never to return again.
D A G
Take away, take away (hold note on away)
------(no music)------ D
Take away this ball and chain
D A G D 2x
D A
Well I've searched and I've searched
G D
To find the perfect life
D A
A brand new car a brand new suit
G D
I even got me a little wife
D A
Oh, wherever I have gone
G D
I was sure to find myself there
D A
You can run all your life
G D
But not go anywhere.
(Repeat Chorus)
D A
Well I passed the bar on the way,
G D
To my dingy hotel room.
D A
Well I spent all my money
G D
I've been drink'n since half past noon.
D A
Well I'll wake there in the morning
G D
Or maybe in the county jail.
D A
Times are hard, getting harder
G D
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
(Repeat Chorus)
Strum D A G D 2x
D A G
Take away (hold out note on away)
D
Take away this ball and chain.
