Johnny Cash – Dark As A Dungeon (Guitar)

        E                                  
Oh come all you young fellers, 

    A           B7
so young and so fine,

 E
seek not your fortune 

        A          E
in the dark dreary mine 

      E
It'll form as a habit 

     A           B7
and seep in your soul, 

         E                  
till the stream of you blood

        A            E 
runs as black as the coal

B7    
Where it's dark as a dungeon, 

A          E
damp as a dew.

B7  
Danger is double, 

A             E
pleasures are few,

                     E7
where the rain never falls, 

    A         B7
the sun never shines, 

     E         
it's dark as a dungeon 

     A          E
way down in the mine  

       E                
Like a man with his dope,

       A                 B7 
like a drunkard with his wine,

  E                 
a man will have lust

        A           E 
for the lure of the mine

         E                 
And I'll pray when I'm dead,

       A          B7 
and my ages shall roll,

        E 
that my body would blacken 

    A         E
and turn into coal

        E
And I'd look from the door

      A        B7 
of my heavenly home

    E            
and pity the miner

A         E
diggin my bones 

B7    
Where it's dark as a dungeon, 

A          E
damp as a dew.

B7  
Danger is double, 

A             E
pleasures are few,

                     E7
where the rain never falls, 

    A         B7
the sun never shines, 

     E         
it's dark as a dungeon 

     A          E
way down in the mine
