[C#] [G#]
[F#] [C#]
[G#]
[F#] [C#]
Well it's been ten years [G#] and a thousand tears, [F#] and look at the mess [C#] I'm in.
A broken nose and [G#] a broken heart, [F#] an empty bottle of [C#] gin.
Well I sit and I [G#]
pray, [F#] in my broken down [C#]
Chevrolet.
While I'm singing to [G#]
myself, [F#] there's got to be [C#] another way.
Take away, take [G#]
away, take [F#] away this ball and [C#] chain.
Well I'm lonely and [G#] I'm tired, [F#] and I can't take any more [C#] pain.
Take away, take [G#] away, [F#] the heart to return [C#] again.
Take away, take [G#] away, [F#] take away, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[A#] Take away this [C#] ball and chain.

[F#] [C#]

[F#] [C#]
Well I've searched and I've [G#] searched, [F#] to find the perfect [C#] life.
A brand new car [G#] and a brand new suit, [F#] I even got me a [C#] little wife.
But wherever I have [G#]
gone, [F#] I was sure to find [C#] myself there.
You can run all your [G#]
life, but [F#] not go [C#] anywhere.
Take away, take [G#]
away, [F#] take away this ball [C#] and chain.
Well I'm sick and [G#] I'm tired, [F#] and I can't take any more [C#] pain.
Take away, take [G#] away, [F#] the heart to return
[C#] again.
Take away, take [G#] away, [F#] take away, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[A#] Take away this [C#] ball and chain.
[G#]
[F#] [C#]
[G#]
[F#] [C#]
Well I'll pass the bar [G#] on the way, to [F#] my dingy hotel [C#] room.
I spent all my [G#]
money, [F#] I've been drinking since half past [C#] noon.
Well I'll wake there in the [G#]
morning, [F#] oh maybe in the county [C#]
jail.
Times are hard, getting [G#]
harder, [F#] I'm born to lose, and destined [C#] to fail.
Take away, take [G#]
away, [F#] take away this ball [C#] and chain.
Well I'm lonely and [G#] I'm tired, [F#] and I can't take any more [C#] pain.
Take away, take [G#]
away, [F#] the heart to return [C#] again.
Take away, take [G#] away, [F#] take away, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Take [A#] away this [C#] ball and chain.
