[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Come all ye young fellows,
so [G]young and so [A]fine
[D]Seek not your fortune in the [G]dark,
dreary [D]mind
It'll form like a habit and
[G]seep in your [A]soul
Till the [D]stream of your blood
is as [G]black as the [D]coal
It's as [A]dark as a dungeon,
and [G]damp as the [D]dew
The [A]dangers are double,
and the [G]pleasures are few
[D]Where the rain never falls,
and the [G]sun never [A]shines
It's as [D]dark as a dungeon way
[G]down in the [D]mine
There's many a man I have
[G]known in my [A]day
Who [D]lived just to labor his [G]whole life [D]away
Like a fiend for his dough and
a [G]drunkard for his [A]wine
A [D]man will have lust for
the [G]lure of the [D]mind
And I hope when I'm gone
and the [G]ages will [A]roll
My [D]body will blacken and [G]turn into [D]coal
And I'll look from the door
of my [G]heavenly [A]home
And [D]pity the miner [G]digging my [D]bones
It's as [A]dark as a dungeon
and [G]damp as the [D]dew
The [A]dangers are double and the [G]pleasures
are few
[D]Where the rain never falls
and the [G]sun never
[A]shines
It's as [D]dark as a dungeon way [G]down in the
[D]by[G][A][D][G][D]
[G][A][D][G][D]
It's as [A]dark as a dungeon,
and [G]damp as the [D]dew
The [A]dangers are double,
and the [G]pleasures are few
[D]Where the rain never falls,
and the [G]sun never [A]shines
It's as [D]dark as a dungeon,
way [G]down in [Em]the [D]mud
