The Hole chords by Glen Phillips

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

E minorEm
Behind the house the ground has opened up
              D MajorD        E minorEm
And it’s so deep a hole its bottom can’t be found
       C majorC
It sucks the air inside
  BB       E minorEm
And makes quiet sea sounds

A minorAm   G+G

  E minorEm         D MajorD       E minorEm
We sometimes stand and linger at the edge
                D MajorD      E MajorE
We like to dare each other how close we can get
       C majorC
And there’s a pact we’ve made
  BB                 E MajorE
If one should fall the other follows in

C majorC   E minorEm    BB     E minorEm
Ooooooo    oooooooooo
C majorC      A minorAm
Oooooooo  ooooooooooo

           D MajorD        E minorEm
We started small with trash and rotten food
                 D MajorD        E MajorE
And then the neighbors came with cars and davenports, too
     C majorC      BB
Then the government, midnight dumps
         E MajorE
Of what, we never knew

C majorC   E minorEm    BB
Oooooooooooooooo
C majorC      A minorAm      E MajorE
Oooooooo  ooooooooooo


A augmentedA letter came the other day

From clear around the globe
     A minorAm
It said “We hope that you’re the ones

On the other end of the hole
BB
Could you please take a few things back
  C majorC         FF     E minorEm
Our country’s getting full”

   C majorC   E minorEm    BB
Oooooooooooooooo
C majorC      A minorAm      E MajorE
Oooooooo  ooooooooooo
