Verso 1: G Tony came back to town With his cap and gown That they give 'em at the state pen Em Breaking and entering will do that Tony's momma says: "He's only human" G Look what the cat dragged in From his next of kin His little sister hugs the Tin Man Em Tony, she's grown Ain't she pretty in a little black dress C He's digging up the heart G To know the price he paid Verso 2: G You can hear the train When you're in the cage C And you can smell the rain And you can see the sage G Brush threaten the highway D But you can't drive Em And when he finally put the asphalt to the tire C It looked something like Sistene oil and fire D Ripping through the dark G He's diggin' up the heart C G Diggin' up the heart D G Diggin' up the heart C Well it ain't that strange D G Any boy can change D C D G Diggin' up the heart Verso 3: G One, two, three, four, five Oh me, oh my Count the reasons that you shouldn't be messing Em With the sons of perdition Never gonna take you down the straight and narrow G Fever dreaming of a place That you just can't get Like you're burning in a pit Em Little brother, you're lying to yourself If you think you've changed C It's just another part G Ain't this something strange Verso 4: G When Tony left they were scratching at the door C In particular, one wanted him more G Her name was Christie D The Queen of Humboldt County Em But 3 to 5 is a lifetime at that age C Christie met herself another boy, got engaged D Left him in the dark G He's diggin' up the heart C G Diggin' up the heart D G Diggin' up the heart C Well it ain't that strange D G Any boy can change D C D Diggin' up the heart C G He's diggin' up the heart D G Diggin' up the heart C With a little luck D G With the times get rough D C D G Diggin' up the heart Bridge: G Now the clerk's got his hands up But his mind's on the mark His 38 beneath the register He's diggin' up the heart hide this tab D#|---------------------| A#|---------------------| F#|---------------------| C#|--9-7-5--4-5---2-5--7| G#|---------------------| D#|---------------------| Chorus: C G Diggin' up the heart D G Diggin' up the heart C Well it ain't that strange D G Any boy can change D C D G Diggin' up the heart C G He's diggin' up the heart D G Diggin' up the heart C With a little luck D G When the times get rough D C D G Diggin' up the heart Outro: C Well it ain't that strange D G Even boys can change D C D G Diggin' up the heart
