Well, today a friend told me this sorry tale
As he stood there trembling and turning pale
He said each day's harder to get on the scale sort of
Bb Am C Em
Like Jacob Marley's chain
Am Em7sus4/b C D
But it's not like life's such a veil of tears
It's just full of thoughts that act as souvenirs
For those tiny blunders made in yesteryears
Bb Am C Em
That comprise Jacob Marley's chain
Bb Am F G
Well, I had a little metaphor to state my case
It encompassed the condition of the human race
Cm Bb F C
But to my dismay, it left without a trace
Bb Am D E7
Except for the sound of Jacob Marley's chain.

Now there is no story left for me to tell
So I think I'd rather just go on to hell
Where there's a snowball's chance that the personnel
Bb Am C Em
Might help to carry Jacob Marley's chain
Down to carry Jacob Marley's chain

Down to carry Jacob Marley's chain
