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

Refrão:
D                A
Take away, take away
       G                  D
Take away this ball and chain
D                    A
I'm lonely and I'm tired
        G                  D
And I can't take any more pain
D                A
Take away, take away
      G           D
Never to return again
D                A
Take away, take away
       G                             D
Take away, take away this ball and chain

D  A  G  D (x2)

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

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