Johnny Cash - 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 .
