The Hole
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 there's 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 you're 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
