[Intro 1]
[Em][A][Em][A][Em][A][B][A]

[Verse 1]
[E]Dig yourself,
[A]Lazarus
[Em]Dig [A]yourself, Lazarus
Dig your[Em]self, [E]Lazaru[A]s
[B]Dig yourself, back [A]in that hole

[Verse 2]
[E]Larry made his nest up in
[A]the autumn [Em]branches[A]
[E]Built from nothing but high
[A]hopes [Em]and thin air
[A]Collected up som[Em]e baby
[A]blasted [Em]mothers
They took their chances
[A]and for[Em] a while
They lived quite [B]happily [A]up [Em]there[E][A]

[Verse 3]
He [Em]came from New York [A]City man
But he [B]couldn't take [Em]the pace
[A]He thought it [Em]was like a dog
eat [A]dog [Em]world[A]
But he went [E]to San [Em]Franc[B]isco
Spent a year in outer [Em]space
[A]With [Em]a sweet little San [E]Fran[A]ciscan [Em]girl
[A]I can

[Verse 4]
[E]hear my mother wailing
[A]And a who[Em]le lot of scraping of [A]chairs
[Em]

[Verse 5]
I [C]don't know what it is
But there's [G]definitely something
[D]go ing on up[Em]stairs
Dig your[A]self, Lazarus
[Em]Dig [A]yourself, Lazarus
[Em]Dig [A]yourself, Lazarus
[B]Dig yourself, back [Em]in th[A]at[Em]
hole (I want you to dig)
[A](I want you [B]to dig)
(I want you [A]to dig)

[Verse 6]
Well, [Em]yeah, New York City,
[A]he had to [E]get out of there
[A]And San Francisco, [E]well, I don't [Em]know[A]
[Em]And then to LA,
[A]where he spent [Em]about a day
He [A]thought even the [Em]pale
sky-stars were [A]were smart
[Em]Enough to ke[E]ep well away
from [B]LA
[Em][A][Em]

[Verse 7]
[A]Meanwhile Lar[B]ry made
[Em]up names [A]for the ladies
[Em]Like Ms Boo and Ms [B]Quick
[Em]He stockpiled weapons an[A]
d took pot [Em]shots in the [A]air
He feasted on [Em]their lovely
[E]bodies like a lunat[A]ic
And [Em]wrapped himself up in
their soft [A]yellow hair
[Em]

[Verse 8]
[A]I can hear cha[Em]nts and incantations[A]
And [Em]some guy is mentioning
[A]me [Em]in his prayers
[A]

[Verse 9]
[Em]Well I don[D]'t[C] know what it is
But there's [G]definitely something
go[D]ing on up[Em]stairs
[A]Dig yourself, Lazarus
[Em]Dig yourself, Laza[A]rus
[Em]Dig yourself, Laza[A]rus
[B]Dig yourself,
back in that [Em]hole (I want [A]you [Em]to dig)
(I want you to dig)
(I want [A]you to [B]dig)

[Verse 10]
[Em]Well New York City [D]Man
[Em]San Francisco, L[B]A, I[Em] don't know
[B]But Larry [Em]grew increasingly
[B]neurotic and [Em]obscene
[B]I mean, h[Em]e, he never asked to
[B]be raised up from [Em]the tomb
[B]I mean no one ever actually [Em]asked him
to for[D]sake his [Em]dreams[A]

[Verse 11]
[Em]Anyway, to cut [A]a long story short
[Em]Fame finally found [B]him
Mir[Em]rors became his torturer[A]s
Cam[Em]eras snapped him at every [B]chance
[Em]The women all went back to their homes[B]
And [Em]their husbands
With [B]secret [E]smiles in the corner[B]s
of their mouth[Em]s[B]

[Verse 12]
[Em]He ended up, like so many of them do
Back in the streets of New [B]York [Em]City
In a [B]soup queue
A [Em]dope fiend
[B]A s[Em]lave
Then [B]prison
Then the mad [Em]house
[B]Then the gra[Em]ve
[B]Oh poor [Em]Larry[A]

[Verse 13]
But [Em]what do we really know [A]of the dead
[Em]And who actually cares[A]?[Em]
Well [C]I don't know what it is
But there's [G]definitely something
go[D]ing on [Em]upstairs
Dig yourself, Laz[A]arus

[Verse 14]
[Em]
Dig yourself, Laz[A]arus
[Em]Dig [A]yourself, Lazarus
[B]Dig yourself,
back in that hole (I want you to [Em]dig)
Dig yourself, Lazarus
Dig yourself, Lazarus
Dig yourself, Lazarus
[A]Dig[B] yourself,
[Em]back in that (dig, that's right, dig)
Dig yourself, Lazarus
Dig yourself, Laz[A]arus
[Em]Dig yourself, Laza[B]rus
Dig yourself,
back in that (I want you to [Em]dig)
Dig yourself, Laz[A]arus
[Em]Dig yourself, Laza[D]rus
[Em]Dig yourself, Lazarus
[B]Dig yourself, back in [Em]that hole
