G6 = 320000 G and G6 can be interchanged except in the intro and solo. [Intro] G C x4 [Verse]
G                   C         Em
I knew no vices and I knew no sin

C                     F               C
I knew the words but they didn't sink in

G                           C                 Em
Stayed out of those tunnels that pull people down

C                             F             C
There's more of those tunnels in your home town

G                    C                  Em
Fell far from grace, so far I couldn't see

C                             F                 C
And oh, underground, I wasn't that far from the tree
[Chorus]
F                        C
We're all digging if you wanna know

G                          Em  C
Fixing digging far too slooooooow

G
Far too slow
[Solo] (one strum each with a break to hammer on the G6 in between repeats, listen to the song to get what I'm saying) C G6 C G6 x2 [Verse]
G                    C              Em
We dug for money, we shovelled four tons

C                                F            C
And the end wasn't funny, though we'd all had fun

G                       C           Em
Limping and broken, the tunnel fell in

C                                       F        C
I've been limping from tunnels since my original sin

G                          C          Em
Birthright's a trouble, my father dug too

C                             F          C
He got where he was going at the age of 62
[Chorus]
F                        C
We're all digging if you wanna know

G                          Em  C
Fixing digging far too slooooooow

G
Far too slow
[Solo] C G6 C G6 x2 [Verse]
G                         C              Em
A new pair of boots and a chisel in your name

     C                            F                   C
Says we could be in the same hole attracting the same blame

G                        C          Em
If I knew the way to the ornamental tree

C                                           F                 C
I would tell you, we'd be jailbirds, I'd be winking twice for free

G                                C                 Em
Don't call on your brother, odds are he's here and all

C                                     F                    C
Being gentle with the people who were knock-kneed from the fall
[Chorus]
F                        C
We're all digging if you wanna know

Far too slow

We're all digging if you wanna know

Fixing digging far too slooooooow

G
Far too slow
