The Hole Randy Travis
Intro:F C Bb F
[F]A friend of mine bought himself a shovel
Said I'm gonna tunnel me a mine[C]
He set out to be a rich man
Hap[C7]piness is what he thought he'd fine[F]
Got in to deep to see the diamond
Down to dark to see the gold[C]
[Bb]Now he won't let go of the shovel[F]
And he can't d[C]ig out of the hole[F]
Chorus:
[Bb]Deeper and deeper he's going[F] down
[Bb]Driving his fut[F]ure right into [G]the ground[C]
[Bb]He thinks he's closer [F]the further he g[Bb]oes[F]
But he's still[Bb] on the bottom[F]
And he can't [C]dig out of the hole
[F]I tried to throw the man a life line
I tried to send him down a rope[C]
I don't think he hears me calling
But[C7] everyday I pray and hope[F]
[F]Somehow he finally gets the message
Every spade of dirt he throws[C]
[Bb]Only gets him closer to the devil[F]
And he can't [C]dig out of the hole[F]
repeat chorus:
[F]Maybe we could learn a little lesson
Maybe this'll shine a little light[C]
Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with
The[C7] line between wrong and right[F]
Use the one chance you've been given
Cause once your in the ground and cold[C]
[Bb]It's too late to start livin[F]'
You see you can't di[C]g out of the hole
Repeat chorus:
It's hell on the bottom
And you can't dig out of the hole
