Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: F#

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
F#                  B
Where do we put our precious things
     F#               C#
Like woolen socks and wedding rings
    F#              B
And seance gear and kimchi jars
    F#               C#
Our Matchbox andâ??our Hot Wheels cars

Verse 2:
F#                     B
Where can we hide when bombs will fly
   F#                      C#
To save ourselves when all others die
   F#                           B
To toast with a shot here's cum in your eye
     F#
I've got an idea, listen here


Chorus:
          F#                      F
There's a hole in the yard, about ten by ten
     G#m7                C#
Just large enough to put all those things in
  F#                      F
A dark place to be if and when the bombs hit
       G#m         C#
At the back of the pit

G#m  C#


Verse 3:
F#                          B
I woke up today with almost too much love
F#                                         C#
Didn't sleep much last night, joyous vibes from above
         F#                                           B
Couldn't keep it all in, thought I would burst at the seams
     F#                               C#
What fills waking life is wilder than dreams


Verse 4:
F#                  B
Every day and every evening too
  F#                        C#
I count all the reasons I'm in love with you
     F#                              B
Look around at everything that we've bought, got, and stole
   F#                 C#       F#
To bring with us down into the hole


Chorus:
          F#                      F
There's a hole in the yard, about ten by ten
     G#m7                                C#
Just large enough to put all those items in
  F#                      F
A dark place to be if and when the bombs hit
       G#m         C#
At the back of the pit
       G#m7        C#
At the back of the pit


Verse 5:
F#                                  B
When we hear the frogs again, we'll consent to raise our heads
    F#                          C#
And it won't matter then if the rest of the world is dead
     F#                             B
Yes, between you and me we've got a repopulation kit
    F#                             C#          F#
The world will rise again from the back of the pit
