Dark As A Dungeon - Johnny Cash
[Verse 1]
Oh come [G] all you young fellers,
so [C] young and so [D7] fine,
[G] seek not your fortune
in the [C] dark dreary [G] mine
[Verse 2]
It'll [G] form as a habit
and [C] seep in your [D7] soul,
till the [G] stream of you blood
runs as [C] black as the [G] coal
|[Chorus 1]
|[D7] Where it's dark as a dungeon,
|[C] damp as a [G] dew.
|[D7] Danger is double,
|[C] pleasures are [G] few,
|where the rain never [G7] falls,
|the [C] sun never [D7] shines,
|it's [G] dark as a dungeon
|way [C] down in the [G] mine
[Verse 3]
Like a [G] man with his dope,
like a [C] drunkard with his [D7] wine,
a [G] man will have lust
for the [C]l ure of the [G] mine
[Verse 4]
And I'll [G] pray when I'm dead,
and my [C] ages shall [D7] roll,
that my [G] body would blacken
and [C] turn into [G] coal
[Verse 5]
And I'd [G] look from the door
of my [C] heavenly [D7] home
and [G] pity the miner
[C] diggin my [G] bones
|[Chorus 2]
|[D7] Where it's dark as a dungeon,
|[C] damp as a [G] dew.
|[D7] Danger is double,
|[C] pleasures are [G] few,
|where the rain never [G7] falls,
|the [C] sun never [D7] shines,
|it's [G] dark as a dungeon
|way [C] down in the [G] mine
