The Hole (Acoustic version) Intro - F#m Bm F#m Bm
F#mWell the old woman finally caught me BmSneakin' 'round her cave
Her hair looked just like barb wire, boys
And her smile just like the F#mgrave She asked me could I stay a while IBm said I'd better go
She slid her arm around my neck
And sweetly whisperedF#m no F#mIt's cold and dark and lonely here As soon enough you'll sBmee
I'm oh so glad you stumbled in
I've been cravin' companyF#m I cannot stay too long you know I left some friends at Bmhome
Don't you fret about your friends
Down here we're all aF#mlone F#mWell what about my mother I can't just leave her there to mBmourn?
You don't have to think about her
Just forget you were ever bF#morn But I'll disappoint my father You know he wBmorked so hard for me
If you have to pay your father back
Just send him some miserF#my F#mI'll miss, I said, a girl I know I can't just leave there to pBmine
Oh She's still got plenty of men to go
I'm sure she'll do just fF#mine Well what about my little boy? She said, hBme's just like you
Let a few short years roll by
He'll end up down here toF#mo F#mAnd her pale green eyes began to glow And she placed her hand on mBmine
She smiled and said don't worry
You'll get used to me in tiF#mme As her cold tongue flickered toward my throat I spun myself arBmound
I Made a dive for the passageway
But the walls came tumbling dF#mown F#mNow her eyes were the only light My fevereBmd brain could see
But I tore myself away from them
And fell down to my knF#mees I've come too far, I can't get back I beseecheBmd all the Gods of men
Fame and fortune just laughed at me
And it's silence once agaiF#mn F#mThen I whispered deep within EBmmbraced the God of Love
I lifted my face and through the tears
I saw light fall from aF#mbove F#mI hurled myself into the wall I ripped and clBmawed my way
Through the stinkin', clingin' loam
Back to the light of dF#may I crawled out into the wind again With the sBmky upon my face
I heard the earth sigh patiently
As I slid back into plaF#mce F#mNow I'm back among the ones I love And I'BMm loved by them in turn
And it's only on the darkest night
That green eyed memory burnF#ms So walk my friends, in the light of day BmDon't go sneakin' 'round no holes
There might be something down there
Wants to gobble up your soul F#m
