James Marshall Hendrix (November 27,1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Widely hailed by music fans and critics alike as the greatest electric guitarist of all time, there is no disputing that he remains one of rock and roll's most influential guitarists (and songwriters). ---- Hendrix was mostly self-taught on the guitar. He was left-handed, so he had to play his guitars strung for a lefty and played upside down. As a guitarist, he built upon the innovations of blues stylists such as B.B.

Ball & Chain For Sale Lyrics
Jimi Hendrix
1.
You got me sitting up on the shelf
While youre out bewitching someone else.
Do I live, do I die
Do I laugh, do I cry
What game am I supposed to loose this time ?
2.
You got chains attached to my head
You spreading magic honey all in your bed
What is it you want ?
Just a puppet that talks
Or maybe just a lover who makes love to the dead.
Step onto the stage...just a few more minutes...
Lets see what kind of juggler you really are.
Say without that whip and those bloody boots
Which are rented...you actually could become
A morning star...
But you rang your last bell
Even your planets, theyve gone to hell
And your world turns to nothing but a bubble
In a shotgun jar.
And now you dont know who you really are.
3.
So instead of trying to make me your slave
Why dont you just...call it a day.
Either way Im gonna win
So save yourself some wind
Dont make me to be the last to see
You to your grave...
Well well, ball and chain...for sale.
New day come...masters gone to hell...
Well well, ball and chain...for sale.
Sunrise come...masters dying in hell...
