D A G D
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears and look at the mess I'm in
D A G D
A broken nose and a broken heart an empty bottle of gin
D A G D
Well I sit and I pray in my thirty-seven Chevrolet
D A G D
I'm singin' to myself there's got to be another way
[Chorus]
D A G D
Take away, take away, take away this ball and chain
D A G D
I'm lonely and I'm tired and I can't take any more pain
D A G D
Take away, take away never to return again
D A G
Take away, take away, take away…
D
Take away this ball and chain

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

I spent all my money I’ve been drinking since a half past noon
D A G D
Well I'll wake there in the morning or maybe in the county jail
D A G D
Times are hard, getting harder, I'm born to lose and destined to fail
[Chorus]
D A G D
Take away, take away, take away this ball and chain
D A G D
I'm lonely and I'm tired and I can't take any more pain

Take away, take away never to return again

Guys. No capo. The song is tuned down half step. The chords are pretty much right, if you're tuned down a half step.
