Ball and Chain piano leadsheet with chords
Sittin' by my window,
and I was lookin' out at the rain.
I said, Sittin' by my window,
baby, and I was sittin' there lookin' out at the rain.
You know you somethin' struck me,
clamped on to me just like a...
just like a ball mis and chain.
I said, oh, oh, by my baby,
why you wanna do these ol' mean things?
I said, Sit oh, by my oh,
dow, baby, why you wanna do these ol' mean things at to me?
Because you know I love you,
and I'm so sick and tired a...
of livin' in misery.
I said, I said that love's gonna last with you forever,
it's gonna last.
I said it's gonna last,
oh, great God Almighty, for all eternity,
Whoa, yeah.
