Dark As A Dungeon

G    G                     C    
Come listen you fellers so young
     D
 and fine
   Em            G              C
Oh seek not your fortune in the 
           G
dark dreary mine
        G                   C     
It will form as a habit and seep 
       D
in your soul
         Em             G         
Till the stream of your blood is 
  C            G
as black as the coal.

[Chorus]
     D                     C      
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as
     G
 the dew
      D                    C      
Where danger is double and 
       G
pleasures are few
          G                        
Where the rain never falls and the 
C         D
sun never shines
     Em        G           C     
It's dark as a dungeon way down 
      G
in the mines.

[Verse 2]
     G               C           D
It's many a man I've known in my day
    Em            G         C    
Who lived just to labor his young
      G
 life away
       G                        
Like a fiend with his dope and a 
 C            D
drunkard his wine
  Em            G            C   
A man will have lust for the lure
        G
 of the mine.

[Chorus]
     D                     C      
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as
     G
 the dew
      D                    C      
Where danger is double and 
       G
pleasures are few
          G                        
Where the rain never falls and the 
C         D
sun never shines
     Em        G           C     
It's dark as a dungeon way down 
      G
in the mines.

[Verse 3]
    G                             
The midnight, the morning, or the 
C             D
middle of the day
          Em         G       
It's the same to the miner who 
  C      G
labors away
          G             C         
Where the demons of the death 
          D
often come by surprise
    Em          G                
One fall of the slate and you're 
C      G
buried alive.

[Chorus]
     D                     C      
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as
     G
 the dew
      D                    C      
Where danger is double and 
       G
pleasures are few
          G                        
Where the rain never falls and the 
C         D
sun never shines
     Em        G           C     
It's dark as a dungeon way down 
      G
in the mines.

[Verse 4]
  G                          C    
I hope when I'm gone and the ages 
      D
shall roll
   Em        G           C        
My body will blacken and turn into 
 G
coal
           G                       
Then I'll look from the door of my 
C        D
heavenly home
    Em       G       C          
And pity the miner a-diggin' my 
G
bones.

[Chorus]
     D                     C      
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as
     G
 the dew
      D                    C      
Where danger is double and 
       G
pleasures are few
          G                        
Where the rain never falls and the 
C         D
sun never shines
     Em        G           C     
It's dark as a dungeon way down 
      G
in the mines.

     Em        G           C     
It's dark as a dungeon way down 
      G
in the mines.
     Em        G           C     
It's dark as a dungeon way down 
      G
in the mines.
