Am                          F  
We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule 
 E7                 Am  
From the Alabama trust 
 Am                             F  
For half of the cotton and a third of the corn 
 E7                    Am  
We get a handful of dust 
 
CHORUS: 
     F                          C               G        Am  
We cannot have all things to please us, no matter how we try 
   F                    C                G    Am F C G Am F E7 Am  
Until we've all gone to Jesus, we can only wonder why 
 
 Am                            F  
I had a daughter called her Annabelle 
 E7                      Am  
She's the apple of my eye 
 Am                            F  
Tried to give her something like I never had 
 E7                             Am  
Didn't want to ever hear her cry 
 
Chorus 
 
When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears 
From every day I've ever known 
Anna's in the churchyard she got no life at all 
She only got these words on a stone 
 
Chorus

Capo 2nd fret
 
 G  
In the black dust towns of east Tennessee 
          D                  G  
All the work's about the same 
 G  
And you may not go to the job in the ground 
          D                   G  
But you learn the miner's refrain 
 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 
 G  
When you search the rain for the silver cloud 
          D                G  
And you wait on days of gold 
 G  
When you pitch to the bottom 
 
And the dirt comes down 
      D                 G  
You cry so cold, so cold 
 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 
G x2  D  G 
 
 G  
Now there's something good in a worried song 
  D                        G  
For the trouble in your soul 
  G  
Cause a worried man who's been a long way down 
   D                    G  
Down in a deep dark hole 
 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 
   D                    G  
I'm down in a deep, dark hole
