Digging For Your Dream Chords - Indigo Girls

INTRO

The intro follows a three chord pattern (Em, D C which appears in the song. I like to play the Intro anytime I see those three chords show up in the verses, but it sounds fine without it. The three chords are an A minor shape on the 7th fret (Em), an A major shape on the fifth fret D), and a standard C The 0h1 that appears within the C chord can be played anytime C is at the end of a line. Em D C

VERSE 1

Em D Trying to remember the very last time C I felt a simple thing going past Em Was it the day in north Georgia D C When you were trying to take a bath? Am D She sees the Day Lily's post inside C D And the tears spring to her eyes Em D C You turn the car around and you?re headed back down that track

VERSE 2

Em She's had a heart attack D C But the bottle of Jack sits on the counter like the devil she knows Em D And he beats her up and she fills her cup C D With the embers of a dying fire glow Am D See how she looked in her school year book C D Her friends signed the margins all around Em D But would you stay in touch you know I miss you so much C D G I hope we get out of this town

CHORUS

Em D C Every day that you get up and force your cards Em D C Playing your story in fits and starts Em D C Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream Am C Em And you bloody your hands, digging for your dream

VERSE 3

Em D C I went looking for the answers from someone I heard believes that life gets easier Em D C And you learn how to breathe and you learn how to grieve your past Am D You study the masters and their books C D Giving in to the barbs and hooks Em D C Till you except it with grace when your true love doesn't last

CHORUS

Em D C Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down Em D C Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down Em D C Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
