	        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

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
