Randy Travis - The hole

^FA friend of mine bought himself a shovel Said I?m gonna tunnel me a mine ^C

Hap^C7piness 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^Cig out of the hole ^F

^BbDeeper and deeper he?s going^F down ^BbDriving his fut^Fure right into ^Gthe ground ^{C Bb}He thinks he?s closer ^Fthe further he g^Bboes ^F But he's still^Bb on the bottom^F And he can?t ^Cdig out of the hole ^FI tried to throw the man a life line I tried to send him down a rope ^C

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 ^Cdig out of the hole ^F

^FMaybe we could learn a little lesson Maybe this?ll shine a little light ^C

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^Cg out of the hole
