Dark As A Dungeon

E

[Verse 1]
         E                         
Oh, come all you young fellers, so 
A             B
young and so fine
    E                           
And seek not your fortune in the 
 A           E
dark dreary mine
      E                   A       
It'll form as a habit and seep in 
      B
your soul
         E                         
Till the stream of your blood runs 
   A             E
as black as the coal


[Chorus]
           B                  A   
Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp
        E
 as the dew
B                    A           
Danger is double and pleasures 
   E
are few
          E                     A 
Where the rain never falls, the 
         B
sun never shines

     E                     A      
It's dark as a dungeon way down in
     E
 the mine


[Verse 2]
           E                   
Well, it's many a man that I've 
 A            B
known in my day
           E                      
That would live just to labor his 
A           E
whole life away
       E                           
Like a fiend with his dope, like a 
A                  B
drunkard with his wine
  E                          A    
A man will have lust for the lure 
       E
of the mine


[Verse 3]
      E                         
And I pray when I'm dead and the 
 A           B
ages shall roll
        E                      A  
That my body would blacken and 
        E
turn into coal
         E                        
Then I'd look from the door of my 
A         B
heavenly home
    E              A          E
And pity the miner digging my bones


[Chorus]
           B                  A   
Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp
        E
 as the dew
B                        A       
Danger is double and the 
       E
pleasures are few
          E                     A 
Where the rain never falls, the 
         B
sun never shines
     E                     A      
It's dark as a dungeon way down in
     E
 the mine
