Dark As A Dungeon


Drop D tuning; low to high: D-A-D-G-B-E Capo 2nd Intro: | D | D | G | D | D G A7 Oh, come all you young fellers, young and so fine. D G D Seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mine. G A7 It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul, D G D Till the stream of you blood runs as black as the coal. A7 G D Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew, A7 G D danger is double; pleasures are few. G A7 Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines, D G D It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine. Interlude: | D | D | G | D | D | D G A7 Well, I pray when I'm dead and the ages shall roll, D G D that my body will blacken and turn into coal. G A7 Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home D G D and pity the miner diggin' my bones. A7 G D Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew, A7 G D danger is double; pleasures are few. G A7 Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines, D G D It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine. For more Johnny Cash chords, see www.unofficial-johnnycash.com!
