[Intro]
A D A
Oh won’t you search with me all through the night
E
I've been digging through a junk piles most of my life
A D A
And I never found nothing, but something to do
E A
And I’m doing alright now, I’m digging with you
A D A
Doin' nothing in Fresno but coming down fast
E
I ran out of ways of making it last
A D A
So I paced around the house I was staying that night
E A
And I couldn’t find nothing but a broken flashlight
A D A
My answer drove up in a old pickup truck
E
By the end of the driveway she’s picking through junk
A D A
I stammered, I asked her how much for that light?
E A
She said "it ain’t for sale, ‘cause I need it tonight"
A D A
"Oh this is the time when us scavengers roam"
E
She pointed to junk piles in front of each home
A D A
Said "come with me, search for a light of your own
E A
And we’ll meet my friends and we can get stoned"
[Instrumental]
F#m C#m (x3)
F#m E
[Verse 1]
F#m C#m
I said "nice to meet you" when I looked in her eyes
D F#m A B
She was probably forty, she looked more like sixty-five
F#m C#m
A mother and a daughter with some stories to tell
D F#m A B
20 years searching refuse for used things she could sell
[Verse 2]
F#m C#m
She spoke of the son, she’d left him with her sister when he was only 9
D F#m A B
But she still sends him letters, letters, letters from time to time
F#m
"And he never writes back?", "no he never writes back"
C#m
I said, "I’m sure he’s fine"
D F#m
You say you hope he plays football
A B
I said "maybe that’s what we’ll find"
[Chorus]
C#5 F#5 A5 B5 F#5 A5 B5
Oh won’t you dig with me all through the night
C#5 A5 B5 C#5 A5
I've been digging for something most of my life
C#5 F#5 A5 B5 F#5 A5 B5
And I never found nothing but something to do
C#5 A5 B5
But I’m doin' alright now, digging with you
[Verse 3]
F#m C#m
We drove droned out suburbs, California laid to waste
D F#m A B
The way time stays steady, steady, through the tide of our tastes
F#m
We found a cabbage patch doll, a pack of playing cards
C#m
A torn Superman cape
D F#m A B
And she cut up all her drugs on a desk that had three legs
[Verse 4]
F#m C#m
A circle of trucks like an indian camp
D F#m A B
I eat your amphetamines and everybody danced
F#m C#m
By a fire we're building a totem of trash
D F#m
Stack an old fan on a play-set
A B
And a Halloween mask
N.C.
And a ray gun with a broken trigger
Some dark sun glasses
[Chorus]
C#5 F#5 A5 B5 F#5 A5 B5
Oh won’t you dig with me all through the night
C#5 A5 B5 C#5 A5
I've been digging for something most of my life
C#5 F#5 A5 B5 F#5 A5 B5
And I never found nothing but something to do
C#5 A5 B5
But I’m doin' alright now, digging with you
[Solo] (x2)
F#m C#m F#m C#m A F#m C#m E
[Bridge]
A D A
And I thank you for the story I promised to tell
E
I know it means nothing, but I hope you’re well
A D A
I’m sorry my letter, it hasn’t come still
E A
But I never wrote you and I never will
[Chorus]
C#5 F#5 A5 B5 F#5 A5 B5
Oh won’t you dig with me all through the night
C#5 A5 B5 C#5 A5
I've been digging for something most of my life
C#5 F#5 A5 B5 F#5 A5 B5
And I never found nothing but something to do
C#5 A5 B5
But I’m doin' alright now, digging with you
