Fresno Chunk Digging With You

A                             
Oh won’t you search with me all 
  D           A
through the night
I've been digging through a junk 
      E
piles most of my life
      A                       
And I never found nothing, but 
 D            A
something to do
                           E  
And I’m doing alright now, I’m 
          A
digging with you
A                           D    
Doin' nothing in Fresno but 
       A
coming down fast
                     E
I ran out of ways of making it last
     A                            
So I paced around the house I was 
D           A
staying that night
And I couldn’t find nothing but a 
E      A
broken flashlight
A                       D         
My answer drove up in a old pickup 
 A
truck
By the end of the driveway she’s 
E
picking through junk
  A                          D    
I stammered, I asked her how much 
         A
for that light?
She said "it ain’t for sale, ‘cause 
  E        A
I need it tonight"
A                          
"Oh this is the time when us 
   D         A
scavengers roam"
                             E
She pointed to junk piles in front 
of each home
A                                
Said "come with me, search for a 
D             A
light of your own
                              E    
And we’ll meet my friends and we 
      A
can get stoned"

[Verse 1]
F#m                            
I said "nice to meet you" when I 
C#m
looked in her eyes
       D         F#m              
She was probably forty, she looked
  A             B
 more like sixty-five
F#m                               
A mother and a daughter with some 
C#m
stories to tell

D                    F#m      A 
20 years searching refuse for 
                        B
used things she could sell

[Verse 2]
F#m                               
She spoke of the son, she’d left 
                        C#m
him with her sister when he was only
 9
    D                    F#m   
But she still sends him letters, 
           A                    B
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                       
I said "maybe that’s what we’ll 
 B
find"

[Chorus]
C#5                    F#5 A5 
Oh won’t you dig with me      
B5                      F#5 A5 B5
   all through the night
                            C#5 A5 
I've been digging for something    
B5          C#5 A5
    most of my life
      C#5                F#5 A5 
And I never found nothing but   
B5                  F#5 A5 B5
    something to do
                         C#5 A5 
But I’m doin' alright now,         
B5
digging with you

[Verse 3]
F#m                        
We drove droned out suburbs, 
      C#m
California laid to waste
D                  F#m           
The way time stays steady, 
              A           B
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        
And she cut up all her drugs on a 
A                   B
desk that had three legs

[Verse 4]
  F#m                      C#m
A circle of trucks like an indian 
camp
D             F#m        
I eat your amphetamines and 
   A         B
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 
Oh won’t you dig with me      
B5                      F#5 A5 B5
   all through the night
                            C#5 A5 
I've been digging for something    
B5          C#5 A5
    most of my life
      C#5                F#5 A5 
And I never found nothing but   
B5                  F#5 A5 B5
    something to do
                         C#5 A5 
But I’m doin' alright now,         
B5

[Bridge]
A                             
And I thank you for the story I 
  D           A
promised to tell
                             E
I know it means nothing, but I hope 
you’re well
    A                   D         
I’m sorry my letter, it hasn’t 
  A
come still
                          E       
But I never wrote you and I never 
A
will

Oh won’t you dig with me

I've been digging for something    
B5          C#5 A5
    most of my life

And I never found nothing but
