By Randy Travis [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
