Dark As A Dungeon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Come on [A]you[D] young fellas,
[G]so young and [A]so fine.
[D]Seek not your fortune
way [G]down in [A]the mine.
It'll [D]form like a habit
and [G]seep in your [A]soul
[D]Till a stream of your blood
runs as [G]black as the [A]coal
It's dark as a dungeon,
[D]damp as the dew
The [A]danger is double
and the pleas[D]ure's a few
Where [A]the rain [D]never falls
and the [G]sun never [A]shines
It's [D]dark as a dungeon
way [G]down in the [A]mine
Many [D]a man I have seen i[G]n my d[A]ay
Who [D]lived just to labor
his [G]whole life [A]away.
Like [D]a fiend with his dope
or a [G]drunkard his [A]wine,
[D]a man will have lust
for [G]the lure of the [A]mind.
It's dark as a dungeon,
as [D]damp as the deep,
the [A]danger is double
and the [D]pleasures are few.

[Verse 2]
the [A]rain [D]never falls
and the [G]sun never [A]shines

[Verse 3]
[A]
It's [D]dark as a dungeon
way [G]down in the [A]mine

[Verse 4]
[D]I p[A]ray w[D]hen I'm dead
and the [G]ages shall [A]roll
My [D]body will blacken

[Verse 5]
and [G]turn into coal
[A]

[Verse 6]
An[D]d I look from the door
of my [G]heavenly [A]home
[D]And pity the miners
that [G]dig in my [D]bones
It's as dark [A]as a dungeon,
[D]damp as the deep
The [A]danger is double
and the pleasures [D]are few
Where the rain [A]never [D]falls
and the [G]sun never [A]shines
As [D]dark as a dungeon
way [G]down in the [A]mine
[D]
