(tacit) D
Well I’m digging my grave, I’m digging my grave
A
My road to hell is surely paved
D
With all the love that I never gave
A D
Well I’m digging my grave, I’m digging my grave
And the hole is made, with pick and spade
With all the debts nearly paid
Oh, how I wish, that I could have stayed
But the hole is made—Oh, the hole is made
Break
(walk D,E,F#) G D
Oh and, the hole, is shallow where I must lay
A
The hole is shallow, but that’s ok
D G
I’ll have peace on my final day
D A D
Down in this shallow hole where I must lay
This July ground, is mighty hard,
This July ground, is mighty hard
My back is broken, my hands are scarred
This July ground is mighty hard
Woah, I wish, I hadn’t sinned
Woah, I wish, I hadn’t sinned
So I could be with you again
Woah, I wish, I hadn’t sinned
Repeat Break
Well this Iowa dirt is mighty cold
This Iowa dirt is mighty cold
And God will never rest my soul
Down in this Iowa dirt, so cold
Well I’m digging my grave, I’m digging my grave
My road to hell is surely paved
With all the love that I never gave
Well I’m digging my grave, I’m digging my grave
