Dark As A augmentedA Dungeon
Glen Campbell
written by Merle Travis

Intro (Do-Bro in A augmentedA)

Verse 1

A augmentedA        A7A7      D MajorD      E MajorE
Come listen you fellows   so young and so fine
  A augmentedA              D MajorD      A augmentedA
And seek not your fortune  in a dark dreary mine
        A7A7       D MajorD      E MajorE
It'll form as a habit    an seep in your soul
     A augmentedA             D MajorD      A augmentedA
Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal

Chorus 1

   E MajorE      E7E7      D MajorD      A augmentedA
It's dark as a dungeon   an damp as the dew
   E MajorE        E7E7    D MajorD       A augmentedA
Where troubles are doubled and pleasures are few
           A7A7      D MajorD     E MajorE
Where the rain never falls And the sun never shines
  A augmentedA              D MajorD      A augmentedA
Its dark as a dungeon    way down in the mine

riff  A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA

Verse 2

A augmentedA          A7A7       D MajorD     E MajorE
Well I hope when I'm gone  and the ages shall roll
  A augmentedA              D MajorD     A augmentedA
My body will blacken    and turn into coal
            A7A7     D MajorD    E MajorE
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
  A augmentedA        D MajorD     A augmentedA
And pity the miners digging my bones

Verse 3

A augmentedA         A7A7        D MajorD     E MajorE
The midnight  the morning  or the middle of day
    A augmentedA             D MajorD   A augmentedA
Is the same to the miner   who labors away.
          A7A7       D MajorD    E MajorE
Where the demons of death   often come by surprise,
  A augmentedA              D MajorD   A augmentedA
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive.

Chorus 2

E MajorE        E7E7    D MajorD      A augmentedA
Its dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
   E MajorE      E7E7    D MajorD       A augmentedA
Where danger is doubled and pleasures are few
           A7A7        D MajorD     E MajorE
Where the rain never falls  And the sun never shines
  A augmentedA           D MajorD      A augmentedA
Its dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
