Dark as a Dungeon

G                              C            D
     Come all you young fellers, so young and so fine 
     G                              C           G 
     And seek not your fortunes way down in the mine 
     G                             G            D  
     It will form like a habit and seep in your soul 
     G                                      C            G
     'Til the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal 
      
     D                          C           G
     It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew 
     D                                    C             G
     Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few 
     G                                  C         D
     Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines 
     G                          C           G
     It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines 
      
     G                          C          D 
     There is many a man I have seen in my day 
     G                           C           G  
     Who lived just to labor his whole life away 
     G                                    C            D
     Like the fiend with his dope and the drunkard his wine 
     G                            C           G
     A man will have lust for the lure of the mine 
      
     D                          C           G
     It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew 
     D                                    C             G
     Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few 
     G                                  C         D
     Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines 
     G                          C           G
     It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines 
      
     G                            C          D
     I hope when I'm dead and the ages shall roll 
     G                             C         G
     That my body will blacken and turn into coal 
     G                               C        D
     I will look from the door of my heavenly home 
     G                     C          G 
     And pity the miner a' diggin' my bones 
      
     D                          C           G
     It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew 
     D                                    C             G
     Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few 
     G                                  C         D
     Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines 
     G                          C           G
     It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines 
     G                          C           G
     It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines 
     G                          C           G
     It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
