Tom: C

C                                    F
With this bank book in your hand and your arms around me
  C                                    G7
Today you saw just how big one man can be
               C                         F
Your so called friends gathered round as they laid him in the ground
       C                 G7               C  F  C  C7
In the hole he said he'd dig he'd dig for me

       F                               C
Yes he thought he was a king my but he owned this whole wide world
                                   G7
But if only he could come back and see
    C                              F
His castle now would be on momma's stone just two by three
       C                  G7               C
By the hole he said would dig he'd dig for me

                                      F
His money it could never buy like the gleam in your eyes
    C                                       G7
The way you look when you stand so close to me
     C                                 F
As I walk off with his prize somehow I hope he was satisfied 
       C                   G7                C  F  C  C7
In the hole he said he was gonna dig now for me

      F                             C
Yes I thought he was a king that he owned the world
                                       G7
But if only he could come back now and see
    C                              F
His castle now would be on momma's stone just two by three
       C                 G7                   C
By the hole he said he'd dig he would dig for me
