Verse 1:
F Am
I lost my lucky ball & chain
F G
And now she's four years gone
F Am
Just five feet tall and sick of me
F F
And all my rattling on
F Am
She threw away her baby-doll
F G
I held on to my pride
F Am
But I was young and foolish then
F F
I feel old and foolish now.
G6 ( D G with D muted E string )
Chorus:
F F
Confidentially, she never called me baby-doll
F F
Confidentially, I never had much pride
F F
But now I rock a bar stool and I drink for two
G F G
Just pondering this time bomb in my mind.

I just stood there whistling

There goes the bride as she walked out the door

Verse 3:
I could shake my tiny fist
And swear I wasn't wrong,
But what's the sense in arguing
When you're all alone?
Sure as you can't steer a train
You can't change your fate
When she told me off that day
I knew I'd lost my home.
G6
Chorus:
Confidentially, I never told you of her charms.
Confidentially, we never had a home,
But this railroad apartment was the perfect place
When she'd sit and hold me in her arms.
