         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 

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
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
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
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 Oh, it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
