Digging for your Dream
INTRO
The intro follows a three chord pattern (Em, D, C) which appears in the song. I like to
play the Intro anytime I see those three chords show up in the verses, but it sounds
fine without it.
The three chords are an A minor shape on the 7th fret (Em),
an A major shape on the fifth fret (D), and a standard C.
The 0h1 that appears within the C chord can be played anytime C is at the end of a line.

VERSE 1
Em D
Trying to remember the very last time
C
I felt a simple thing going past
Em
Was it the day in north Georgia
D C
When you were trying to take a bath?
Am D
She sees the Day Lily's Boston sign
C D
And the tears spring to her eyes
Em D C
You turn the car around and you?re headed back down that track
VERSE 2
Em
She's had a heart attack
D C
But the bottle of Jack sits on the counter like the devil she knows
Em D
And he beats her up and she fills her cup
C D
With the embers of a dying fire glow
Am D
See how she looked in her school year book
C D
Her friends signed the margins all around
Em D
But would you stay in touch you know I miss you so much
C D G
I hope we get out of this town
CHORUS
Em D C
Every day that you get up and force your cards
Em D C
Playing your story in fits and starts
Em D C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream
Am C Em
And you bloody your hands, digging for your dream
VERSE 3
Em D C
I went looking for the answers from someone I heard believes that life gets easier
Em D C
And you learn how to breathe and you learn how to grieve your past
Am D
You study the masters and their books
C D
Giving in to the barbs and hooks
Em D C
Till you except it with grace when your true love doesn't last
CHORUS
Em D C
Every day that you get up and force your cards
Em D C
Playing your story in fits and starts
Em D C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream
Am C Em
And you bloody your hands? digging for your dream
REPEAT CHORUS
Em D C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
Em D C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
Em D C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
