Here's a fun song that's easy to play. Go to
kevinfowler.com for the tempo (you'll never sing the
chorus right if you haven't heard it!!).
A D
Well, it started 'bout a month ago when I was in the
can
E A
For firin' off my .44 at another man
D
Ain't been too good at bustin' rock or workin' chain
gang
E A
Never could see me draggin' that ol' ball and chain
(chorus)
A D E A
Ball and chain, it's bringin' me down again
D
Gotta keep runnin' gotta do my own thing
E A
I could never drag a ball and chain
A D
Well, you always kept sayin' how you think that I
should stay
E A
And we could get started on our own family
D
Come along tomorrow I'll be on the mornin' train
E A
Gonna boogie back to Texas couldn't drag your ball and
chain
(chorus)
A D
I used to wake up every mornin' and I'd do the rat
race
E A
Suit and tie, nine to five wouldn't my place
D
Didn't take too long for me to understand
E A
I could never be a blue collar workin' class man
(chorus twice)
