[Intro]
D F#m G D A G A D

[Chorus]
D
Dig Up the Hatchet & pass it around
F#m                     G
  Exhume these memories from the cold ground
           D                        A
And if you   truly believe that two wrongs make a right
      D          A         D
We'll Dig Up the Hatchet tonight.

[Verse 1]
G                               D
   Bring up your boyfriend from way back home
                           A
Mention those pictures you found on my phone
           D                     G          D
Then we'll tumble and fall into a hollerin' fight
                A         D
Then Dig Up the Hatchet tonight.

[Interlude]
D F#m G D A G A D

[Verse 2]
       G                              D
If you can't stand the bark & you're afraid of the bite
                                   A
Just don't let the sun set on your anger tonight
    D                         G        D
For what is a quarrel between lovers & friends
                    A        D
We'll just bury the hatchet again.

[Chorus]
D
  Dig Up the Hatchet & pass it around
F#m                     G
  Exhume these memories from the cold ground
            D                       A
And if you   truly believe that two wrongs make a right
      D          A       D
We'll Dig Up the Hatchet tonight.

[Bridge]
G A Bm G F#m Bm Bm  G A D

[Verse 3]
         D                           G            D
Like the bramble and the rose we are hopelessly intwined
                           A          D
And we'll find ourselves a new axe to grind
                     A       D
You gotta dig up the hatchet again
