Dark As A Dungeon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Welcome
all you young fellers
So [C]young and [D]so fine
Seek [G]not your fortune
In the [C]dark dreary [G]mind
It'll form as a habit
And [C]seep in [D]your soul
Till a [G]stream of your blood
Runs as [C]black as the [G]cold
Where it's [D]dark as a dungeon
And [C]damp as [G]the dew
[D]Danger is double
[C]Pleasures are [G]few
Where the rain never falls
The [C]sun never [D]shines
It's [G]dark as a dungeon
way [C]down in the [G]mine
Well, it's Benny the man
who I've [C]seen in my [D]day
Live [G]just to work his [C]whole life [G]away
Like the fiend with his dough,
the [C]drunk with his [D]wine
A [G]man will have lust
for the [C]lure of the [G]mind
Where it's [D]dark as a dungeon,
Tem[C]per as a [G]dew,
[D]Danger is double,
[C]Pleasures are [G]few.
Where the rain never falls,
The [C]sun never [D]shines.
As [G]dark as a dungeon,
way [C]down in the [G]mine[C][D]
[G][C][G][D][C][D]
[G][C][G]
Will I pray when I'm dead
and the [C]age is shattered?
I'll [D]roll that my [G]body
would blacken
and [C]turn into [G]coal
Then I'll look from the door
of my [C]heavenly [D]home
[G]Pity the miner dig[C]ging my [G]bone
Where it's [D]dark as a dungeon,
[C]damp as the [G]dew
[D]Dangerous tumble, pleasures are[C] few[G]
Where the rain never falls,
the [C]sun never [D]shines
As [G]dark as a dungeon
way [C]down in the [G]mine
