Randy Travis - The Hole guitar chord

Intro:F C Bb F

F

A friend of mine bought himself a shovel

C

Said I'm gonna tunnel me a mine

He set out to be a rich man

C7 F

Happiness is what he thought he'd fine

Got in to deep to see the diamond

C

Down to dark to see the gold

Bb F

Now he won't let go of the shovel

C F

And he can't dig out of the hole

Chorus:

Bb F

Deeper and deeper he's going down

Bb F G C

Driving his future right into the ground

Bb F Bb F

He thinks he's closer the further he goes

Bb F

But he's still on the bottom

C

And he can't 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't 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't dig out of the hole

repeat chorus:

F

Maybe we could learn a little lesson

C

Maybe this'll 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've been given

C

Cause once your in the ground and cold

Bb F

It's too late to start livin'

C

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
