[E] [D]
Last night I dug your picture out from my old dresser drawer.
Sat it on the table and I talked to it till 4.
I read some old love letter [G] right up till the break of dawn.
[D] Yeah, tonight I'm [A] sitting alone and I'm [D] digging up bones.
And I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings.
I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a flame.
Across this lonely bedroom [G] of a recent broken heart.
[D] Yeah, tonight I'm [A] sitting alone and I'm [D] digging up bones.
I'm digging up bones.
I'm digging up bones.
I'm digging up bones.
Too many things better [A] left alone.
[D] I'm resurrecting memories [G] of a love that's dead and gone.
[D] Yeah, tonight I'm [A] sitting alone and I'm [D] digging up bones.
When Randy did his 25th anniversary album,
I'd written a new verse for the song and it didn't make the album
because I wrote it after the album was recorded.
That makes sense, right?
So anyway, when we sent the lyric over to Kyle Lenning for the 25th anniversary,
it had four verses and Kyle goes, I didn't know the song had four verses.
And I said, yeah, I wrote it afterwards and I kind of,
so anyway, they cut it with John Anderson came in and sang the new verse with him.
So tonight I'm going to sing the new verse for y'all or today, whatever time it is.
Well, I went into the kitchen just to get a bite to eat.
I just kept on wishing I could taste your kiss this way.
I came out with a thirsty [G] leg and I've been in all in all.
[D] Yeah, tonight I'm [A] sitting alone and I'm digging [D] up bones.
I'm digging up bones.
I'm digging up bones.
Too many things better left alone.
[A] [D] I'm resurrecting every love [G] that's dead and gone.
[D] Yeah, tonight I'm [A] sitting alone and [D] I'm digging up bones.
[E] I'm digging up bones.
I'm digging up bones.
Too many things better [B] left alone.
[E] I'm resurrecting every [A] love that's dead and gone.
[E] Yeah, tonight I'm sitting [B] alone and I'm digging [E] up bones.
Yeah, tonight I'm sitting [B] alone.
Like I said, once Randy sang a song, hard to cover it,
but I always thought if I could have gotten this song to BB King, he might have sung it.
And he'd have sung the new verse and it might have been something like this.
I'm digging [E] up them bones.
I've been digging up them bones.
I said I went [Ab] into [D] the kitchen [E] just to get a [D] bite to eat.
[E] I just kept on wishing that I could taste your piece of sweet.
[Bm] [E]
Came out with a cranky leg.
