Digging Holes In The Water ukulele

Digging Holes In The Water

• G

These are the basic chords used throughout the song. I'll show you the
inversions that I usually like to use when playing it that better fits to
the melody. You'll probably develop your own style but this is a good start
to work off of.

G                     D           Bm
i wish that you would move to the sun
      F#m                                  
cause you're like diggin' holes in thin air
       G
and we know that can't be done.

G                     D              Bm
i wish that you would cheat with someone
      F#m
cause you're like diggin' holes in water
       G
and we know that can't be done

G                        
bravery and stupidity go hand in hand
  D                       Bm
i guess that makes me the bravest man
      F#m
i was quick to learn but slow to understand
    G  
well, what can you do

   G
my theories are borrowed from somewhere else
      D                     Bm
and i never had too many to talk about
    F#m
but you were real quick, you were quick to point out
    G
well, that was borrowed too


*I added in Bm even though it really isn't necessary in here but it goes
along and helps with transitioning to the F#m so it's your choice if you'd
like to add it in.


Here are the rest of the lyrics to song obtained from songmeanings.net.

i wish that you would move to the sun
cause you're like diggin' holes in thin air
and we know that can't be done

i wish that you would cheat with someone
cause you're like diggin' holes in water
and we know that can't be done

bravery and stupidity go hand in hand
and i guess that makes me the bravest man
i was quick to learn but slow to understand
well, what can you do

rhetoric and smalltalk are marching on
and i probably am the biggest pawn
cause i was quick to talk and the first to carry on
well, what can you do

you need a permit if you're gonna build shit
and you can't get one so nothing gets built
and your house is standing on a foot and a half of silt

i wish that you would move to the sun
cause you're like diggin' holes in thin air
and we know that can't be done

i wish that you would cheat with someone
cause you're like diggin' holes in water
and we know that can't be done

rhetoric and smalltalk are marching on
and i probably am the biggest pawn
cause i was quick to talk and the first to carry on
well, what can you do
