The Hole
By Randy Travis
Intro:
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF
F
A augmentedA friend of mine bought himself a shovel
C majorC
Said I?m gonna tunnel me a mine
He set out to be a rich man
C7C7 FF
Happiness is what he thought he?d fine
Got in to deep to see the diamond
C majorC
Down to dark to see the gold
Bb majorBb FF
Now he won?t let go of the shovel
C majorC FF
And he can?t dig out of the hole
Chorus:
Bb majorBb FF
Deeper and deeper he?s going down
Bb majorBb FF G+G C majorC
Driving his future right into the ground
Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF
He thinks he?s closer the further he goes
Bb majorBb FF
But he's still on the bottom
C majorC
And he can?t dig out of the hole
FF
I tried to throw the man a life line
C majorC
I tried to send him down a rope
I don?t think he hears me calling
C7C7 FF
But everyday I pray and hope
FF
Somehow he finally gets the message
C majorC
Every spade of dirt he throws
Bb majorBb FF
Only gets him closer to the devil
C majorC FF
And he can?t dig out of the hole
repeat chorus:
FF
Maybe we could learn a little lesson
C majorC
Maybe this?ll shine a little light
Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with
C7C7 FF
The line between wrong and right
Use the one chance you?ve been given
C majorC
Cause once your in the ground and cold
Bb majorBb FF
It?s too late to start livin?
C majorC
You see you can?t dig out of the hole
Repeat chorus:
It?s hell on the bottom
And you can?t dig out of the hole
