Ball And Chain

Em                          B7
   Did you say it was black tie?
Em                         B7
   I lost a button, but it fits just
 fine
Em                D
   Remind me what time

Em                        B7
   Do you kids still high five?
Em                                
   Cool Dad is fun, Cool Dad's 
  B7
your favorite guy!
Em
   Watch me on the floor


[Chorus 1]
G           D           B7      Em
   Ball and Chain, what would I be
                C            
   Without this weight that's 
 D       G
pullin' me?
            D       B7     Em
   Down and out and back a-gain

   Don't ask me
C
   Don't ask me


[Verse 2]
Em                         B7
   So I'm givin' you these keys

Em                             B7
   Ten minutes more, no matter what 
I say
Em                     D
   Then the Irish good-bye

Em                   B7
   The seat's up too far
Em                                
   Back roads I'm spinning with 
  B7
the starry sky
Em
   Pour me out at home

   Don't ask me

[Verse 3]
Em                      B7
   I'm a little bit sur-prised
Em                           B7
   I sleep for 50 years, and you're 
still here
Am              D
   Takin' up my side

Em                      B7
   And the sun moves so fast
Em                                
   Too fast to see, too bright to 
B7
look too long
Em
   I open up my eyes

   Down and out and back a-gain

   Don't ask me
C        Em
   Don't ask me

   Dont ask me
C        Em
   Don't ask me
