Diggin' Up the Heart Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Tony came back to town
With his cap and gown
That they give him at [F#m]the state pen
Breaking and [Bm]entering will do that
Tony's mama said,
"he's only human"
[D]Look what the cat dragged in
From his next of kin
His little sister hugs [F#m]the tin man
Tony, she's [Bm]grown
And she's pretty,
in her little black dress
He's digging up the [G]heart
To know the price [D]he paid

[Verse 2]
[D]
You can hear the train
When you're in the cage
And you [A]can smell [D]the rain
[G]And you can see the sagebrush
Threaten the [D]highway
But you can't [A]drive
And when you finally put the
[Bm]asphalt to the tire
Looks [D]something [Bm]like
[G]Sistine oil and fire
Ripping through the [A]dark
He's digging up the heart
[D][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[D]
[A]Digging up [Bm]the h[G]eart[D]
Digging up the [A]heart[D]
Well, it ain't that [G]strange
Any [A]boy can [Bm]change
Digging [A]up the heart
[G][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]One, two, three, four, five
Oh, me, oh, my
Count the reasons that
you shouldn't [F#m]be messing
With [Bm]the sons of perdition
Never gonna take you down
The straight and narrow
[D]We've been dreaming of a place
That you just can't get
Like you'reburning in a pit
Little [F#m]brother, you're [Bm]lying to yourself
If you think you've changed
It's just another [G]heart
Ain't there something [D]strange

[Verse 5]
[D]
When Tony left
They were scratching at the door
In particu[G]lar, one wanted him more
Her name was [D]Christie[A]
[D]Queen of Humboldt [A]County
But three to five is a [Bm]lifetime at that age
Christie met herself an[G]other boy,
got engaged
Left him in the [A]dark
He's digging up the heart
[D]

[Verse 6]
Digging [A]up [Bm]the h[G]eart[D]
Digging up the [A]heart[D]
Well, it ain't that [G]strange
Any [A]boy [Bm]can change
He's digging [A]up the [G]heart[A]
[D]He's digging up the hea[G]rt[D]
Digging up the [A]heart[D]
With a little [G]luck
When [A]the times gets [Bm]rough
Digging [A]up the heart
[G][A]

[Verse 7]
[D]Well the clerk's [A]got his
hands [Bm]up[Em]
[Bm]But his [D]mind's o[A]n the [D]mark[A]
The [D].38 beneath [Bm]the register
He's digging up the heart
[G][A]

[Verse 8]
Digging up the [G]heart[D]
Digging up the [A]heart[D]
Well, it ain't that [G]strange
Any [A]boy can [Bm]change
Digging [A]up the [G]heart[A]
[D]He's digging up the hea[G]rt[D]
Digging up the [A]heart[D]
With a little [G]luck
When [A]the times gets [Bm]rough
Digging [A]up the heart
[G][A]

[Verse 9]
[D]
Well it ain't that [G]strange
Even [A]boys [Bm]can change
Digging [A]up the heart

[Outro 1]
[G][A][D]
