Do# Sol# Fa# Do#
Do# Sol#
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
Fa# Do#
And look at the mess I'm in
Sol#
A broken nose and a broken heart,
Fa# Do#
An empty bottle of gin
Sol#
Well I sit and I pray
Fa# Do#
In my broken down Chevrolet
Sol#
While I'm singin' to myself
Fa# Do#
There's got to be another way
Do# Sol#
Take away, take away
Fa# Do#
Take away this ball and chain
Sol#
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
Fa# Do#
And I can't take any more pain
Sol#
Take away, take away
Fa# Do#
Never to return again
Sol#
Take away, take away
Fa#
Take away
Do# Sol# Fa# Do#
Take away this ball and chain
Do# Sol#
Well I've searched and I've searched
Fa# Do#
To find the perfect life
Sol#
A brand new car and a brand new suit
Fa# Do#
I even got me a little wife
Sol#
But wherever I have gone
Fa# Do#
I was sure to find myself there
Sol#
You can run all your life
Fa# Do#
But not go anywhere
Do# Sol#
Take away, take away
Fa# Do#
Take away this ball and chain
Sol#
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
Fa# Do#
And I can't take any more pain
Sol#
Take away, take away
Fa# Do#
Never to return again
Sol#
Take away, take away
Fa#
Take away
Do# Sol# Fa# Do#
Take away this ball and chain
Do# Sol# Fa# Do# Do# Sol# Fa# Do#
Do# Sol#
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
Fa# Do#
To my dingy hotel room
Sol#
I spent all my money
Fa# Do#
I've been drinkin' since half past noon
Sol#
Well I'll wake there in the mornin'
Fa# Do#
Or maybe in the county jail
Sol#
Times are hard getting harder
Fa# Do#
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
Do# Sol#
Take away, take away
Fa# Do#
Take away this ball and chain
Sol#
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
Fa# Do#
And I can't take any more pain
Sol#
Take away, take away
Fa# Do#
Never to return again
Sol#
Take away, take away
Fa#
Take away
Do# Sol# Fa# Do#
Take away this ball and chain
