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# Take away N.C. C# Take away this ball and chain

[Verse 2]
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 wherever 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
[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# I've been drinkin' since half past noon C# G# Well 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
[Chorus]
C# G# Take away, take away, F# C# Take away this ball and chain C# G# Well 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# Take away N.C. C# Take away this ball and chain
