Ball and Chain Social Distortion
Now, I'm going to spare you the pain of decifering the same chords OVER and Over again, placed on top of the words of the song. So here is the chord progression for the acoustic part of the song
[D] [A] [G] [D]
D- (xx0232)
A- (x02220)
G- (320033)
There, that's it, simple strumming, just listen and you'll figure it out. Here's the lyrics for those of you like me who enjoy singing no matter how bad your voice is
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way
-Chorus-
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life
And not go anywhere
-Chorus-
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
Been drinking since a half past noon
Well I'll wake there in the morning
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard, getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
Chorus
