[Verse 1]
 D6      A7+         D6          A7+
There I was... a - digging this 'ole,
  D          F#7       Bm7                 E7
'Ole in the ground, s' big, and sought of round, it was,
     A7      Em7    A7   G   D
And there was I, digging it deep,
        C#7                               F#    F#
It was flat at the bottom, and the sides were steep!

[Verse 2]
            F#m7       F#m7       E7
When, along...   comes...  this bloke in a bowler,
             ^          ^         ^
           A7                            D       A7
Which he lifted, and scratched his head,    woh,

     D6             A7+    D6            B7
He looked down the 'ole,  poor demented soul, and he said...

Don't dig there!  Dig it else - where!
        D6         A7+            D           D7
You're digging it round, and it ought to be square,

The shape of it's wrong, it's much too long,

And you can't put a hole where a hole don't be - long!"
