Dark As A Dungeon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Come [D]listen,
[A]you[Bm] fell[Gm]as,[D]
[G]so young and [A]so fine
[D]Oh, seek not your fortune
in [G]the dark, dreary [D]mine
It'll form as a habit and seep [G]in your [A]soul
[D]Till the stream of your blood
is as [G]black as the [D]cold
It's [A]dark as a dungeon
and damp [D]as a dew
Where [A]the dangerous double
and pleasures [D]are few
Where the rain never falls
and the sun [G]never shines[A]
It's dark [D]as a dungeon
way down [G]in [D]the mines
The man I was married
to all of [G]my days[A]
Lived [D]just to labor his [G]young life [D]away
Like a fiend with his dope
and a [G]drunkard [A]his wine
[D]My man had a lust for the [G]lure of [D]the mind
It's [A]dark as a dungeon
and damp [D]as a dune
Where the danger [A]is double
and pleas[D]ure's a few
Where the rain never falls
and the sun [G]nev[A]er shines
It's dark [D]as a dungeon
[Bm]way [D]down i[G]n the mud
[D]Amen
