Ball And Chain: Chords

Intro:
REb  LAb  SOLb  REb

          REb                  LAb
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
    SOLb                  REb
And look at the mess I'm in
                    LAb
A broken nose and a broken heart,
   SOLb            REb
An empty bottle of gin
                 LAb
Well I sit and I pray
      SOLb              REb
In my broken down Chevrolet
                       LAb
While I'm singin' to myself
        SOLb              REb
There's got to be another way

      REb        LAb
Take away, take away
      SOLb              REb
Take away this ball and chain
                        LAb
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
      SOLb                REb
And I can't take any more pain
                 LAb
Take away, take away
      SOLb       REb
Never to return again
                 LAb
Take away, take away
      SOLb     
Take away
                        REb  LAb  SOLb  REb
Take away this ball and chain

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

      REb        LAb
Take away, take away
      SOLb              REb
Take away this ball and chain
                        LAb
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
      SOLb                REb
And I can't take any more pain
                 LAb
Take away, take away
      SOLb       REb
Never to return again
                 LAb
Take away, take away
      SOLb     
Take away
                        REb  LAb  SOLb  REb
Take away this ball and chain

REb  LAb  SOLb  REb    REb  LAb  SOLb  REb 

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

      REb        LAb
Take away, take away
      SOLb              REb
Take away this ball and chain
                        LAb
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
      SOLb                REb
And I can't take any more pain
                 LAb
Take away, take away
      SOLb       REb
Never to return again
                 LAb
Take away, take away
      SOLb     
Take away
                        REb  LAb  SOLb  REb
Take away this ball and chain

REb  LAb  SOLb  REb
