Intro
G
Verse 1
        G
Well, I oughta be workin' in a coal mine 
Neck deep in black lung soot
Swingin' a pick at that mountainside
C                        D
Halfway to China I think I would
G
Fit right in where the sun don't shine
                   Am
She's better off alone
       C                      G
Yeah I oughta be workin' in a coal mine
     D                         G
Lord knows I'm good at diggin' holes
Verse 2
       G
Well I oughta be drillin' for that black gold
Swimmin' in that Texas tea
I could make a killin' all on my own
        C                    D
Sendin' my misfortune to her family
G
'cause when I hit rock bottom
                  Am
The deeper down I go
     C                           G
Oh I oughta be drillin' for that black gold
     D                         G
Lord knows I'm good at diggin' holes
Verse 3
       G
Well I oughta be workin' for the railroad
Sweat pourin' off my back
Haulin' away a heavy load
       C                             D
It's a far cry from heaven down that cold steel track
G
And I can't take her with me
                 Am
She's better off without
       C                         G
Yeah I oughta be workin' for the railroad
     D                         G
Lord knows I'm good at leavin' town
Bridge
                 D                  C
When it comes to love I ain't got a clue
                   D                   G
What this heart of mine is supposed to do
               D                     C
It tears me up inside what I put her through
                    D
Still she won't let go
Instrumental
Am C G G x2
Verse 4
       G
Well I oughta make my livin' in a graveyard
Over my head in dirt
If I had a shovel I'd bury this heart
C                         D
Six feet down and my last words would be
G
I never meant to hurt you
                 Am
I'm better off a ghost
     C                          G
Oh I oughta make my living in a graveyard
     D                         G
Lord knows I'm good at diggin' holes
     C                          G
Oh I oughta make my living in a graveyard
     D                         G
Lord knows I'm good at diggin' holes
