Ball and chain Social Distortion
Well, here's the chords and lyrics to a song by a band I really like. If you've ever heard this song (or for that matter Used to Love Her by GN'R) the strumming will be obvious. If people want more Social Distortion lyrics and chords I can post more. I don't tab Social D because there isn't really anything to tab. Even I play better leads than Mike Ness (I think his first name is Mike). I nominate him for the atrocious, maladroit guitar player award that's been floating around on alt.guitar. Social Distortion songs are great to jam to when you don't have anyone to play with because they usually consist of the same chord progression throughout the whole song, and you can solo throughout the whole song for practice. Enough babble, here's the song: 6x D A G D 4x D A G D 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 3x D A G D Take a way, 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 1x D A G (let G ring) Take away, take away (music pauses) Take away this ball and chain 2x D A G D 4x D A G D 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 But not go anywhere 3x D A G D Take a way, take away, Take away this ball and chain I'm sick and I'm tired And I can't take any more pain Take away, take away Never to return again 1x D A G (let G ring) Take away, take away (music pauses) Take away this ball and chain 2x D A G D (solo) 4x D A G D 4x D A G D Well I'll pass the bar on the way To my dingy hotel room- I spent all my money Been drinkin' since half past noon- I'll wake there in the mornin' Or maybe in the county jail- Times are hard getting harder I'm born to lose and destined to fail- 3x D A G D Take a way, 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 1x D A G (let G ring) Take away, take away (music pauses) Take away this ball and chain 2x D A G D (outro) 4x D A G D
