Verse 1:
I lFost my lucky Amball & chain
And nFow she's four years Ggone
Just fFive feet tall and Amsick of me
And aFll my rattling Fon
She thFrew away her Ambaby-doll
I heFld on to my Gpride
But FI was young and Amfoolish then
I feel oFld and foolish Fnow.
G6 ( D G with D muted E string )
Chorus:
ConfiFdentially, she never called me Fbaby-doll
ConfiFdentially, I never had much Fpride
But Fnow I rock a bar stool and I Fdrink for two
Just Gpondering this Ftime bomb in my Gmind.
Verse 2:
I lFost my lucky Amball & chain
And nFow she's four years Ggone
Just fFive feet tall and Amsick of me
And aFll my rattling Fon
She wFalked away from a Amhappy man.
I tFhought I was so Gcool.
FI just stood there wAmhistling
"TFhere goes the bride&Gquot; as shFe walkedAm out the door
There gFoes the bride as sGhe walked oFut the dAmoor F G

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.
(Repeat 2nd verse)
I lFost my lucky Amball & chain
And nFow she's four years Ggone
Just fFive feet tall and Amsick of me
And aFll my rattling Fon
She wFalked away from a Amhappy man.

"TFhere goes the bride&Gquot; as shFe walkedAm out the door
