A                A7            D            E
Come listen you fellows     so young and so fine

    A                            D           A
And seek not your fortune   in a dark dreary mine

                A7             D            E
It'll form as a habit       an seep in your soul

         A                          D            A
Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal
Chorus 1
     E            E7           D           A
It's dark as a dungeon      an damp as the dew

      E               E7        D             A
Where troubles are doubled  and pleasures are few

                      A7            D         E
Where the rain never falls  And the sun never shines

    A                           D           A
Its dark as a dungeon       way down in the mine
riff A D A Verse 2
A                    A7             D          E
Well I hope when I'm gone   and the ages shall roll

   A                            D         A
My body will blacken        and turn into coal

                        A7         D        E
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home 

    A               D          A
And pity the miners digging my bones
Verse 3
A                  A7                D         E
The midnight   the morning    or the middle of day

       A                          D      A 
Is the same to the miner      who labors away.

                    A7              D       E
Where the demons of death     often come by surprise,

    A                            D      A
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive.
Chorus 2
E                E7       D           A
Its dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

      E            E7       D             A
Where danger is doubled and pleasures are few

                     A7               D         E
Where the rain never falls    And the sun never shines

    A                     D           A
Its dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
