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

He's 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

But 3 to 5 is a lifetime at that age

Christie met herself another boy, got engaged

Left him in the dark

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
