Dark As A Dungeon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Come all ye young fellers,
so [C]bold and so [D]fine,
And [G]seek not your fortune
way [C]down in the [G]mine.
It'll form like a habit and [C]seep in your [D]soul,
Till the [G]stream of your blood
is as [C]black as the [G]coal.
It's [D]dark as the dungeon and
[G]damp as the dew
Where the [D]dangers are double
and [G]the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls,
the [C]sun never [D]shines
It's [G]dark as the dungeon
way [C]down in the [G]mine
It's many a man that
I've [C]seen in my [D]day
Who [G]lived just to labor his [C]whole life [G]away
Like a fiend [Gm]with [G]his dope
or [C]a drunk with his [D]wine
A [G]man must have lust for
the [C]lure of the [G]mind.
[D]Dark as the dungeon, [G]dark as the dew,
Where the [D]dangers are double
and the [G]pleasures are 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.
I do hope when I'm gone
and the [C]ages do [D]roll,
My [G]body will blacken and [C]turn into [G]coal.
Then I'll look from the door
of my [C]heavenly [D]home,
And [G]pity that [Bb]min er a
[C]-diggin' my [G]bones.
It's [D]dark as the dungeon and [G]damp as the dew,
where the [D]dangers are done and the [G]pleasures
are few, where the rain never falls,
the [C]sun never [D]shines.
It's [G]dark as the dungeon way [C]down in the [G]mine,
way down [Em]in the mi[G]ne, way do[Em]wn in the mi[G]ne.
Way down in the mine
