C G F C
[Verse 1]
C G F C Well it's been 10 years and a thousand tears and look at the mess I'm in C G F C A broken nose and a broken heart and an empty bottle of gin C G F C Well I sit and I pray, in my broken down Chevrolet... C G F C and I'm singing to myself, there's got to be another way
[Chorus]
C G F C Take away, take away, take away this ball and chain, C G F C cause I'm sick and I'm tired, and I can't take anymore pain, C G F C Take away, take away, never to return again C G F* C Take away, take away, take away, hey.... Take away this ball and chain
[Verse 2]
C G F C Well I've searched, and I've searched, to find the perfect life C G F C A brand new car, and a brand new suit, I even got me a little wife C G F C But wherever I have gone, I was sure to find myself there C G F C You can run all your life, but not go anywhere
[Chorus]
C G F C Take away, take away, take away this ball and chain, C G F C cause I'm sick and I'm tired, and I can't take anymore pain, C G F C Take away, take away, never to return again C G F* C Take away, take away, take away, hey.... Take away this ball and chain
[Verse 3]
C G F C I passed the bar on the way, to my dingy hotel room C G F C I spent all of my money, I been drinkin since half passed noon C G F C Well I'll wake there in the morning, or maybe in the county jail C G F C Times are hard, getting harder, I'm born to lose, and destined to fail
[Chorus]
C G F C Take away, take away, take away this ball and chain, C G F C cause I'm sick and I'm tired, and I can't take anymore pain, C G F C Take away, take away, never to return again C G F* C Take away, take away, take away, hey.... Take away this ball and chain
