(tacit)                  D5
Well I?m digging my grave, I?m digging my grave
                       A5
My road to hell is surely paved
              D5
With all the love that I never gave
                      A5                   D5
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 D5 , E5 , F#5 )                      G5                           D5
Oh and, the hole, is shallow where I must lay
                                       A5
The hole is shallow, but that?s ok
               D5                    G5      
I?ll have peace on my final day
                  D5        A5                      D5
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
