Dark As A Dungeon
Glen Campbell
written by Merle Travis

Intro (Do-Bro in A)

Verse 1

A        A7      D      E
Come listen you fellows   so young and so fine
  A              D      A
And seek not your fortune  in a dark dreary mine
        A7       D      E
It'll form as a habit    an seep in your soul
     A             D      A
Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal

Chorus 1

   E      E7      D      A
It's dark as a dungeon   an damp as the dew
   E        E7    D       A
Where troubles are doubled and pleasures are few
           A7      D     E
Where the rain never falls And the sun never shines
  A              D      A
Its dark as a dungeon    way down in the mine


riff  A D A

Verse 2

A          A7       D     E
Well I hope when I'm gone  and the ages shall roll
  A              D     A
My body will blacken    and turn into coal
            A7     D    E
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
  A        D     A
And pity the miners digging my bones

Verse 3

A         A7        D     E
The midnight  the morning  or the middle of day
    A             D   A
Is the same to the miner   who labors away.
          A7       D    E
Where the demons of death   often come by surprise,
  A              D   A
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive.

Chorus 2

E        E7    D      A
Its dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
   E      E7    D       A
Where danger is doubled and pleasures are few
           A7        D     E
Where the rain never falls  And the sun never shines
  A           D      A
Its dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
