Verse:
      D MajorD         D MajorD
Shovel on my hands, sweat on my shirt
          D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA
Been workin' for a while boys, on this pile of dirt
            D MajorD      A augmentedA    G+G
Tryin' to dig a little deeper, in a hard rock town
      D MajorD   A augmentedA      D MajorD
No it ain't easy, breakin' new ground
        D MajorD            D MajorD
Burnin' in the hot sun, soakin' in the rain
        D MajorD         G+G     A augmentedA
Gettin' pretty good at, smilin' through the pain
       D MajorD         A augmentedA   G+G
About to the point where, most turn around
      D MajorD   A augmentedA      D MajorD
No it ain't easy, breakin' new ground

Chorus:
    G+G           D MajorD
It's a long hard day, but you sleep at night
    A augmentedA          D MajorD
It's an inch by inch push on down the line
   G+G             D MajorD
Only one way through, just get up and do
   A augmentedA     A augmentedA     A augmentedA     A augmentedA     A augmentedA
It again, and again, and again, and again, and again

Verse:
        D MajorD            D MajorD
It's gonna take time and its gonna take heart
      D MajorD             G+G  A augmentedA
Yeah that bedrock baby it don't just fall apart
              D MajorD         A augmentedA       G+G
If you're lookin' for the good stuff, it's a little further down
        D MajorD   A augmentedA      D MajorD
It sure ain't easy, breakin' new ground

Chorus:
    G+G           D MajorD
It's a long hard day, but you sleep at night
    A augmentedA          D MajorD
It's an inch by inch push on down the line
   G+G             D MajorD
Only one way through, just get up and do
   A augmentedA     A augmentedA     A augmentedA     A augmentedA     A augmentedA
It again, and again, and again, and again, and again

solo:

 D MajorD G+G D MajorD

If you want it bad enough, no you won't back down
       D MajorD   A augmentedA       D MajorD
But it ain't easy, breakin' new ground
     D MajorD   A augmentedA      D MajorD
It ain't easy, breakin' new ground

D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD
       D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD
Shovel on my hands, sweat on my shirt
     D MajorD     Fade out:
It ain't easy
