Dark As A Dungeon
Traditional

CAPO 3rd Fret

         D                         G            A   
Come and listen young fellers - So young and so fine
    D                            G           D
And seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mines
        D                   G            A
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul
         D                            G           D
Till the stream of your blood runs as dark as the coal
           A                     G           D
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
          A                        G             D
Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few
                                   G         A
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
     D                     G           D
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

        D               G           A
There's many a man I've known in my day
       D                       G           D
That's lived just to labor his whole life away
       D                         G            A
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine
  D                          G           D
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine
           A                     G           D
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
          A                        G             D
Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few
                                   G         A
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
     D                     G           D
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

  D                          G          A
I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll
   D                     G         D
My body will blacken and turn into coal
          D                        G        A
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
         D                G          D
And I'll pity the miner a diggin' my bones
           A                     G           D
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
          A                        G             D
Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few
                                   G         A
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
     D                     G           D
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
