Dark As A Dungeon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Come and listen, you fellows
So [G]young and so [Asus4]fine[A]
[D]And seek not your fortune
In the [G]dark, dreary [D]mines

[Verse 2]
It [D]will form as a habit
[G]Seep in your [A]soul
'Til the [D]blood in your veins
Runs as [G]black as the coal
[D]

[Verse 3]
There's many a man
That I've [G]known in [A]my day
Who [D]lived just to labor
His [G]whole life away
[D]

[Verse 4]
Like a fiend with his dope
[G]And a drunkard his [A]wine
[D]A man will have lust for
The [G]lure of the mine
[D]

[Verse 5]
It's [A]dark as a dungeon
[G]Damp as [D]the dew
The [A]danger is double
And the [G]pleasures are few
[D]

[Verse 6]
Where the rain never falls
Where the [G]sun never [A]shines
It's [D]dark as a dungeon
Way [G]down in the mine
[D]

[Verse 7]
I hope when I'm gone
And the [G]ages shall [A]roll
My [D]body will blacken
And [G]turn into [D]coal

[Verse 8]
Then [D]I'll look from the door
Of my [G]heavenly [A]home
And I'll [D]pity the miners
A- [G]digging my [D]bones

[Verse 9]
It's [A]dark as a dungeon
[G]Damp as [D]the dew
[A]The danger is double
And the [G]pleasures are [D]few

[Verse 10]
Where the [D]rain never falls
Where [G]the sun never [A]shines
It's [D]dark as a dungeon
Way [G]down in the mine
[D]

[Verse 11]
Where the rain never falls
Where [G]the sun never [A]shines
It's [D]dark as a dungeon
Way [G]down in the mine
