nobody could really get this song right so i decided to tab it myself Social Distortion Ball and Chain Standard tuning Chords: A x0222x E 022100 D 2xx23x (i dont actually know the name of this chord but it is a form of D. if you dont want to make it easier just play xxx23x A2 xxx22x the strumming is in that order intro: A E D A2 verses are the same

^A well its been 10 years and a ^Ethousand tears and ^Dlook at the mess im ^A2in ^Aa broken nose and a b^Eroken nose and an e^Dmpty bottle of g^A2in

^Awell i sit and i ^Epray in my ^Dbroken down chevorl^A2et ^Awell im singing to mys^Eelf, theres ^Dgot to be a better ^A2way

Chorus(same as verse):

^Atake away take a^Eway, take aw^Day this ball and ^A2chain ^Awell im lonley and im ^Etired and i ^Dcant take anymore ^A2pain

^Atake away take aw^Eay but ^Ddo return ag^A2ain ^Atake away take aw^Eay, take awa^Dyyyy take away this ball and c^Ahain

Note: music pauses once you hit the D chord and the starts up again at the A chord then repeat the the intro A E D A2 well i hope this gives you guys the jist of how the whole song goes, its the same the whole way. enjoy kids!
