Dark as the Dungeon by Johnny Cash
C                                        F           G     C 
     Oh come all you young fellers, so young and so fine, seek not your 

                F           C                                F
fortune in the dark dreary mind.  It'll form as a habit and seep in your

 G               C                           F           C
soul, till the stream of you blood runs as black as the coal.  Where it's

 G                    F           C      G                   F          C
dark as the dungeon, damp as the dew.  Danger is double, pleasures are few,

                                       F          G           C
where the rain never falls, where the sun never shines, it's dark as the 

             F           C                                         F
dungeon way down in the mine.  Like a man with his dope, like a drunkard with

     G       C                          F           C
his wife, a man will have lust for the lure of the mine.  And I'll pray when

                  F          G             C                      F
I'm dead, and my ages shall roll, that my body would blacken and turn into

 C                                         F      G        C 
coal.  And I'd look from the door of my heavenly home and pity the miner

  F         C                 G                    F           C       G
diggin my bones.  Where it's dark as the dungeon, damp as the dew.  Dangers

                F          C                                    F
are double, pleasures are few, where the rain never falls, the sun never 

  G           C                       F           C
shines, it's dark as the dungeon way down in the mine.
