CAPO: 3rd Fret



     C majorC           FF      G+G
Come and listen you fellows, so young and so fine
  C majorC               FF      C majorC
And seek not your fortunes in the dark dreary mines
              FF      G+G
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul
     C majorC              FF      C majorC
'Til the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal

CHORUS:
      G+G           C majorC
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
   G+G          FF       C majorC
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
                  FF     G+G
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
   C majorC           FF      C majorC
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines


             FF      G+G
It's a many a man I have known in my day
  C majorC            FF      C majorC
Who lived just to labour his whole life away
                 FF      G+G
Like a fiend with his dope, or a drunkard his wine
 C majorC             FF      C majorC
A augmentedA man will have lust for the lure of the mines


CHORUS:
      G+G           C majorC
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
   G+G          FF       C majorC

Well, the midnight or the morning or the middle of day
    C majorC         FF    C majorC
Is the same to the miner digging away
                FF     G+G
Where the demons of death often come by surprise
  C majorC              FF    C majorC
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive

Well, I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll
  C majorC           FF     C majorC
My body will blacken and turn into coal
                  FF    G+G
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home

And pity the miner digging my bones
