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

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
        Am          Em7sus4/B C    D
Down to carry Jacob Marley's chain
