C# Well it's C#been ten years, and a G#thousand tears
And F#look at the mess I'm in C#
A broken nose and a G#broken heart,
An F#empty bottle of gin C#

While I'm singin' to myself G#
There's F#got to be another C#way

Take away,C# take away G#
Take aF#way this ball and chain C#
I'm lone ly and I'm tiG#red
And I F#can't take any more pain C#
Take away, take away G#
Never F#to return again C#

Take away this ball and C#chain
