      A                  D                  A                  D
If I did that would you say, "sir come down and put the charge on me"?

             A        D               A     D
I wouldn't do that,      I wouldn't do that

People listen up don't stand to near, I've got something that you all should hear

         B                                                 E
All lies,  all the lies she told to me, make a little part of history

E                                                                      B
I was always taught that boy meets girl, fall in love, get married and forget the world

B                                               A
Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way, Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay

        E        A             E        A
I don't feel, no pain. I don't have, no time

   E            A                   B
To listen to conflicting points of view

            E            G        B
Oh it's a crazy world to live alone

    E              G         B
A ball and chain I call my own
[Verse 4]
E                                                                               B
People listen up don't stand to close, I've got something that you all should know

B                                                 E
Holy matrimony is not for me, Rather die alone in misery

E
I was always taught that boy meets girl, fall in love, get married and forget the world

            B                                   A
Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way, isn't that what they used to say?
[Bridge]
E                    A
With a girl that you knew,

        E             A
And the bonds that we grew

E             G            B  C
Turned into a ball and chain

  E             G         B
I step into the great unknown

     E                G         B
On a ball and chain I call my own  ba-na-na-na-na-na!

B-b-Because marriage doesn't work in the world today, it's an institution that is in decay

    B                                                      E
