This song is in the key of C. To make it sound like the record, you need to tune to drop D,
then tune everything down a full step.
Please don t comment that my chord chart is completely wrong when you didn t read the above
notice.
It should look like this:
E tuned to D
B tuned to A
G tuned to F
D tuned to C
A tuned to G
E tuned to C

Intro:
Verse 1:
Read it in the paper, marked the date on the wall
To remind myself to celebrate the day I lose it all
They made plans to be together. I made plans to be alone.
She got a rock, I m gettin stoned.
Verse 2:
Damn right I ve got objections, but it s awful too late now.
Yea the cans are on the limo and the rice is on the ground.
They re headed for the islands, but hell I m already gone.
She got a rock, I m gettin stoned
Chorus:
Here s to happy ever after, and here s to balls and chains.
*
Here s to all us haters of old lovers new last names.
Here s to holdin up and gettin right where I belong.
She got a rock, I m gettin stoned.
*You don t have to play this C, but I think it s outlined by the other instruments
Verse 3:
Yea I knew that it was over when I heard those weddin bells.
That preacher was my jailer, now this bottle is my bail.
So much for all that prayin her I do would be I don t.
She got a rock, I m getting stoned
Chorus:
Here s to happy ever after, and here s to balls and chains.
*
Here s to all us haters of old lovers new last names.
Here s to holdin up and gettin right where I belong.
She got a rock, I m gettin stoned.
*You don t have to play this C, but I think it s outlined by the other instruments
Guitar Solo:
Tag:
So to hell with her and him and that white horse they rode out on
She got a rock, I m gettin stoned
Yea she got a rock, Haha I m gettin stoned.
Outro:
Vamp on D5
*Note* If you prefer, you can play the F/C in place of the Csus4 throughout the song.
I think the open note sounds better, and is what is being played on the album.
Try both and you ll agree it s very hard to tell.
The F/C looks like this:
D-1
A-1
F-2
C-3
G-3
C-X
