[Verse 1]
     Em               C                 G
Back when we made our plans to tie the knot
    Em              C                G
My friends they all laughed at me a lot
       C                                    G
They slapped my back and told me how they thought I was insane
           A7                       D
They said Son, you're too young to wear that ball and chain
 
[Chorus]
          C                                   G
But love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
C                 G                  A        D
When I'm close to you my heart feels wild and free
C                               G           Em
If you are my jailer, darlin' throw away the key
     C                 D                 G
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
      C                 D
Love don't feel like a ball and chain
    G      Em
It don't feel like a ball and chain
     C                 D                 G
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
 
[Verse 2]
             Em             C                   G
Well I still see my single friends from time to time
         Em            C                 G
And they ask me how it feels to walk the line
         C                              G
Well I tell 'em it feels better than I ever dreamed it would
    A7                                D
And I would not trade places with em, even if I could
 
[Chorus]
          C                                   G
But love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
C                 G                  A        D
When I'm close to you my heart feels wild and free
C                                G            Em
If you are my jailer, darlin' throw away the key
     C                 D                 G
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
 
[Bridge]
     D
Well if it is a crime for a man to love his wife
C
Throw that old book at me give me 99 to life
    D
And I'll spend every minute every hour every day
Bm                        Am          D
Holding you close I don't wan'ta get away
 
[Chorus]
          C                                   G
But love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
C                 G                  A        D
When I'm close to you my heart feels wild and free
C                               G           Em
If you are my jailer, darlin? throw away the key
     C                 D                 G     Em
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
 
[Outro]
     C                 D                 G     Em
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
     C                 D                 G     Em
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
     C                 D                 G     Em
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
     C                 D                 G     Em
Love don't feel like a ball and chain to me
