Diggin up Bones,
Randy Travis
Jnunn@sat.net (John Nunn)

The way I play it.

Verse 1

E
Well last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
E
I set it on the table and I talked to it til four
E                                          A                E
Then I read some old love letters right up til the break of dawn
E                        b7             E
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

chorus
E
I'm a diggin up bones
E                                  b7
Exhuming things that's better left alone
E                              A                    E
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
E                        b7             E
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

Verse 2
E
Then I went through the closet and I found some things in there
E
like that pretty lingerie that I bought you to wear
E                                         A              E
then I recalled how good you looked each time you had it on
E                        b7             E
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

Verse 3
E
Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings
E
I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling
E                                 A             E
across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
E                        b7             E
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones
