C5                   F5         A5
I knew no vices and I knew no sin
F5                         Bb5          C5
I knew the words but they didn't sink in
C5                                F5           A5
Stayed out of those tunnels that pull people down
F5                                Bb5        C5
There's more of those tunnels in your home town
C5                       F5              A5
Fell far from grace, so far I couldn't see
F5                             Bb5                C5
And oh, underground, I wasn't that far from the tree


Bb5                       C5
We're all digging if you wanna know
C5                              A5    F5
Fixing digging far too slow
        C5
Far too slow

We dug for money, we shovelled four tons
And the end wasn't funny, though we'd all had fun
Limping and broken, the tunnel fell in
I've been limping from tunnels since my original sin
Birthright's a trouble, my father dug too
He got where he was going at the age of 62

We're all digging if you wanna know
Fixing, digging, far too slow
Far too slow

A new pair of boots and a chisel in your name
Says we could be in the same hole attracting the same blame
If I knew the way to the ornamental tree
I would tell you, we'd be jailbirds, I'd be winking twice for free
Don't call on your brother, odds are he's here and all
Being gentle with the people who were knock-kneed from the fall

We're all digging if you wanna know
Fixing, digging, far too slow
Far too slow

We're all digging if you wanna know
Fixing, digging, far too slow
Far too slow
