Friday Night Jam I: Porch

We did this a few times...what sounded like the best version got cut off right at very end. Ran out of tape. Anyways, here are 3 versions, not sure if there is a big difference but the first one posted seems the best.

Porch...best of the night?

Ball and Chain Lyrics and Chords

Pretty simple song... [ File ]

Ball And Chain by Social Distortion

D - A - G - D x2
D - A - G - D x4 (intro)

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
Well 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....
(PAUSE)
Take away this ball and chain

D - A - G - D x2

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

CHORUS

D - A - G - D x2
D - A - G - D x4 (solo)

Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
I've been drinkin' since half past noon
Well 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

CHORUS

D - A - G - D x2
D - A - G - D x4 (outro)
