F
A friend of mine bought himself a shovel
C
Said I?m gonna tunnel me a mine
He set out to be a rich man
C7 F
Happiness is what he thought he?d fine
Got in to deep to see the diamond
C
Down to dark to see the gold
Bb F
Now he won?t let go of the shovel
C F
And he can?t dig out of the hole
[Chorus]
Bb F
Deeper and deeper he?s going down
Bb F G C
Driving his future right into the ground
Bb F Bb F
He thinks he?s closer the further he goes
Bb F
But he's still on the bottom
C
And he can?t dig out of the hole
F
I tried to throw the man a life line
C
I tried to send him down a rope
I don?t think he hears me calling
C7 F
But everyday I pray and hope
F
Somehow he finally gets the message
C
Every spade of dirt he throws
Bb F
Only gets him closer to the devil
C F
And he can?t dig out of the hole
repeat chorus:
F
Maybe we could learn a little lesson
C
Maybe this?ll shine a little light
Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with
C7 F
The line between wrong and right
Use the one chance you?ve been given
C
Cause once your in the ground and cold
Bb F
It?s too late to start livin?
C
You see you can?t dig out of the hole
