Kathy Mattea - Dark As A Dungeon
CAPO: 3rd Fret
C F G
Come and listen you fellows, so young and so fine
C F C
And seek not your fortunes in the dark dreary mines
F G
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul
C F C
'Til the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal

CHORUS:
G C
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
G F C
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
F G
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
C F C
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
F G
It's a many a man I have known in my day
C F C
Who lived just to labour his whole life away
F G
Like a fiend with his dope, or a drunkard his wine
C F C
A man will have lust for the lure of the mines
CHORUS:
G C
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
G F C
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
F G
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
C F C
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
INTERLUDE: C F C
F G
Well, the midnight or the morning or the middle of day
C F C
Is the same to the miner digging away
F G
Where the demons of death often come by surprise
C F C
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive
CHORUS:
G C
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
G F C
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
F G
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
C F C
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
F G
Well, I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll
C F C
My body will blacken and turn into coal
F G
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
Am Em F C
And pity the miner digging my bones
CHORUS:
G C
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
G F C
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
F G
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
C F C
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
Am G F C F F6 C
