     A            Gsus2       Bm
Watch your head on that root

   A               Gsus2      A
Got to let your eyes adjust

   G               D/F      A
I'm sorry about your suit

 G                  D/F#          Bm
Can't do nothing about the dust

   A             Gsus2      Bm
Welcome down underground

 A         Gsus2        A
Hunker down a spell

     G          D/F#          G
Gets to feel like home to me

A              G            D/F#
Though I know it looks like hell
[Chorus]
Em7     D/F#      Gadd9
Down in the hole

Csus2         D7sus4       Csus2      D7sus4
Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep

               Csus2  D7sus4    Em7
And the nights are long and cold

D/F#            Gadd9
Down in the hole

Csus2        D7sus4
Light and love

           Csus4   D7sus4
And the world above

     Csus2    D7sus4    Em7
Mean nothing to the mole

           Bm     A   Gsus2
Don't mean nothing

        Bm    A   Gsus2
To the mole
[Verse 2]
Bm      A            Gsus2        Bm
   Never gets real hot down here

  A       Gsus2        A
Fifty five degrees

    G              D/F#              A
It's always a little bit damp I fear

   G             D/F#         Bm
But I've never seem to freeze

      A           Gsus2    Bm
Mushrooms and earthworms

 A           Gsus2    A
Fancy stuff to eat

  G       D/F#                G       A
A world of quiet contemplation oh yes

     G         D/F#
Just below the street
[Chorus]
Em7     D/F#      Gadd9
Down in the hole

Csus2         D7sus4       Csus2      D7sus4
Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep

               Csus2  D7sus4    Em7
And the nights are long and cold

D/F#            Gadd9
Down in the hole

Csus2        D7sus4
Light and love

           Csus4   D7sus4
And the world above

     Csus2    D7sus4    Em7
Mean nothing to the mole
[Bridge]
Em7        G  C
I'm in a hole

D               G     Bm7  Am7
Since I lost my baby, oh

D           G     Bm7  Am7
Living in a hole

D              Em7    Bm  A  Gsus2   Bm  A  Gsus2  Bm
Since I lost my girl
[Verse 3]
 A                Gsus2          Bm
Would you play in the moonlight

 A               Gsus2       A
Would you dance in the dirt

  G                  D/F#       G   A
Come home way past daybreak oh yes

  G               D/F#              Bm
Cockleburs all stuck in your shirt?

     A          Gsus2      Bm
Come back home to twilight

 A              Gsus2    A
Come back home to me

  G           D/F#         G
Subterranean river you are

A          G         D/F#
   Meets the Molten Sea
[Chorus]
Em7     D/F#      Gadd9
Down in the hole

And the nights are long and cold

Down in the hole

Light and love

           Csus4   D7sus4
And the world above

It's all nothing to the mole
[Chorus]
D/F#            Gadd9
Down in the hole yeah

Csus2        D7sus4
Light and love

           Csus4   D7sus4
And the world above

     Csus2    D7sus4    Em7
Got nothing for the mole

   Bm      A        Gsus2    Bm  A  Gsus2
It ain't got nothing

            Bm   A  Gsus2   Bm  A  Gsus2 Bm  A  Gsus2
for the mole
[Outro]
Bm                   A                      Gsus2
Look out for that, look out for that, look out for that root

                     Bm  A  Gsus2
Lookout for that root

                        Bm  A  Gsus2
Welcome down underground            Welcome

Bm  A  Gsus2
            They're just doing what they're supposed to stay alive

Bm  A  Gsus2
            Papilloma

Bm  A  Gsus2                                       Bm  A  Gsus2    Bm  A  Gsus2
