Intro:F C Bb F 
F 
A friend of mine bought himself a shovel 
                                          C 
Said I?gonna tunnel me a mine 
 
He set out to be a rich man 
   C7                                             F 
Happiness is what he thought he?fine 
 
Got in to deep to see the diamond 
                                     C 
Down to dark to see the gold 
Bb                                    F 
Now he won?let go of the shovel 
              C                                 F 
And he can?dig out of the hole 
 
Chorus: 
Bb                          F 
Deeper and deeper he?going down 
Bb             F              G             C 
Driving his future right into the ground 
Bb                    F               Bb         F 
He thinks he?closer the further he goes 
              Bb            F 
But he?still on the bottom 
             C 
And he can?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?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?dig out of the hole 
 
repeat chorus: 
F 
Maybe we could learn a little lesson 
                                        C 
Maybe this? 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? been given 
                                                     C 
Cause once your in the ground and cold 
Bb                          F 
It?too late to start livin?                    C 
You see you can?dig out of the hole 
 
Repeat chorus: 
 
It?hell on the bottom 
 
And you can?dig out of the hole
