Dark as a Dungeon
guitar chords lyrics
Drop D tuning;
low to high: D-A-D-G-B-E
Capo 2nd
Intro:
| D | D | G | D |
D G A7
Oh, come all you young fellers, young and so fine.
D G D
Seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mine.
G A7
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul,
D G D
Till the stream of you blood runs as black as the coal.
A7 G D
Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew,
A7 G D
danger is double; pleasures are few.
G A7
Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines,
D G D
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine.
Interlude:
| D | D | G | D | D |
D G A7
Well, I pray when I'm dead and the ages shall roll,
D G D
that my body will blacken and turn into coal.
G A7
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
D G D
and pity the miner diggin' my bones.
A7 G D
Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew,
A7 G D
danger is double; pleasures are few.
G A7
Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines,
D G D
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine.
