Ball And Chain
Susan Ashton
F#* equals Fm6 - F#
-----------
[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]
C# F#* C# F#*
[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]
C# F#* C# F#*
In the middle of the night, wakened by the wind
C# F#* C# F#*
Or was it something from my past, come to call again?
C# F#* C# F#*
It was the presence of the pain that I could not escape
C# F#* C# A#m2
And it wrapped around my soul like a ball and chain
Chorus:
F# C# D#m7 C#/E# F# G# A#m7 G#/B#
All of us have a heartache, all of us have been stained
F# C# D#m7 C#/E# F#6
All of us long for freedom, but there's only one who can break
C# F#* C# F#*
This ball and chain
In the middle of the night, wakened by the wind
Or did I hear it call my name like a faithful friend?
It was the presence of the peace that I could not escape
And it wrapped around my soul like a warm embrace
CHORUS
E2 F#
Facing all my fears knowing that He's near
F#/C# C# E2 F#
I stand tall, healing as His tears wash my lonely years
A#m2 F#/G# C# F#*
He calls to me in the middle of the night
C# F#* C# F#* C# F#*
[ 1 ][ 1 ][ 1 ][ 1 ][ 1 ][ 1 ]
CHORUS (2x)
D#m7 C#/E# F#6
...But there's only one who can break
D#m7 C#/E# F#6
There's only one who can break
D#m7 C#/E# F#6 C# F#* C# F#*
There's only one who can break this ball and chain
ad lib VAMP and fade
