[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Am G D Am

Mark the devil by a stone, and the rock be surely gold

Am G D Am

So I've come to stake my claim along Main Avenue

Am G D Am

I believe that this here town was built on hollow ground

Am G D Am

And down underneath our feet are treasures to be found

[Pre-Chorus]

C Am C Am

I dig for friendship, I dig for love

C Am G D

I dig for all the things that I've been dreaming of

[Intro]

[Verse 2]

Am G D Am

Every penny that I've earned got me this inch of land

Am G D Am

Every rock or spec of dirt has my name in the book

Am G D Am

So I'm armed with little more than the clothes upon my back

Am G D Am

If the rocks could only talk they'd tell me where to look

[Pre-Chorus]

C Am C Am

I dig for wisdom, I dig for health

C Am G

I dig for all the holy dollars in the bank

[Chorus]

Dm Am G Am

I'm getting deeper while the world is bought and sold

Dm Am G Am

Still getting deeper always closer to the gold

Dm Am G Am

Just about richer though you find me in the hole

Dm Am G D

To sum it up I'm close but one can never know

[Intro]

[Verse 3]

Am G D Am

I've been digging for a time and hit no rock of shine

Am G D Am

There's talk of me in town from no such friends of mine

Am G D Am

They say I dig my grave, that I'll die without a home

Am G D Am

But until it takes my life I'll work down to the bone

[Pre-Chorus]

C Am C Am

I dig for country, I dig for man,

C Am G D

I dig for a silver pistol planted in my hand

[Bridge]

I will strike it solid gold!

G Am

Bucket tell me where to go

I will srrike it solid gold!

G Am

Shovel tell me where to go

I will strike it solid gold!

G Am

Pickaxe tell me where to go

I will strike it solid gold!

G Am

Wash-pan tell me where to go

[Chorus]

Dm Am G Am

I'm getting deeper while the world is bought and sold

Dm Am G Am

Still getting deeper always closer to the gold

Dm Am G Am

Just about richer though you find me in the hole

Dm Am G D

To sum it up I'm close but one can never know
