Dark As A Dungeon Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
Come and [G]listen you fellers
So [C]young and so [D]fine
And [G]seek not your fortune
In [C]the dark, dreary [G]mines
It will form as a habit
And [C]seep in your [D]soul
Till [G]the stream of your blood
Runs [C]as black as the coal
[G]

[Verse 2]
Where it's [D]dark as a dungeon
And [C]damp as the [G]dew
Where the [D]danger is double
And [C]the pleasures are [G]few
Where the rain never falls
And [C]the sun never [D]shines
Well, it's [G]dark as a dungeon
Way [C]down in the mine

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
There's [G]many a man
I've [C]known in my [D]day
Who [G]lived just to labor
His [C]whole life [G]away
Like a fiend with his dope
And [C]a drunkard his [D]wine
A [G]man will have lust
For the [C]lure of the mine
[G]

[Verse 4]
Where it's [D]dark as a dungeon
[C]And damp as the [G]dew
Where [D]the danger is double
And [C]the pleasures are [G]few
Where the rain never falls
And [C]the sun never [D]shines
Well, it's [G]dark as a dungeon
Way [C]down in the mine

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
I [G]hope when I'm gone
And the [C]ages shall [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 I'll [G]pity the miner a
[C]diggin' my [G]bones

[Verse 6]
Where it's [D]dark as a dungeon
And [C]damp as the [G]dew
Where the [D]danger is double
And the [C]pleasures are [G]few
Where the rain never falls
And [C]the sun never [D]shines
Well, it's [G]dark as a dungeon
Way [C]down in the [G]mine
