C                                    F 
With this bank book in your hand and your arms around me 
  C                                    G7 
Today you saw just how big one man can be 
               C                         F 
Your so called friends gathered round as they laid him in the ground 
       C                 G7               C  F  C  C7 
In the hole he said he'd dig he'd dig for me 

       F                               C 
Yes he thought he was a king my but he owned this whole wide world 
                                   G7 
But if only he could come back and see 
    C                              F 
His castle now would be on momma's stone just two by three 
       C                  G7               C 
By the hole he said would dig he'd dig for me 

                                      F 
His money it could never buy like the gleam in your eyes 
    C                                       G7 
The way you look when you stand so close to me 
     C                                 F 
As I walk off with his prize somehow I hope he was satisfied  
       C                   G7                C  F  C  C7 
In the hole he said he was gonna dig now for me 

      F                             C 
Yes I thought he was a king that he owned the world 
                                       G7 
But if only he could come back now and see 
    C                              F 
His castle now would be on momma's stone just two by three 
       C                 G7                   C 
By the hole he said he'd dig he would dig for me
