Intro:

|   D MajorD   |   D MajorD   |   G+G   |   D MajorD   |

D MajorD                        G+G      A7A7
Oh, come all you young fellers, young and so fine.
D MajorD                     G+G         D MajorD
Seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mine.
                   G+G         A7A7
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul,
       D MajorD                     G+G   D MajorD
Till the stream of you blood runs as black as the coal.

A7A7             G+G        D MajorD
Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew,
A7A7            G+G         D MajorD
danger is double; pleasures are few.
                        G+G       A7A7
Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines,
   D MajorD                 G+G         D MajorD
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine.

Interlude:

|   D MajorD   |   D MajorD   |   G+G   |   D MajorD   |   D MajorD   |

D MajorD                           G+G    A7A7
Well, I pray when I'm dead and the ages shall roll,
       D MajorD                G+G      D MajorD
that my body will blacken and turn into coal.
                            G+G    A7A7
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
    D MajorD          G+G       D MajorD
and pity the miner diggin' my bones.

A7A7             G+G        D MajorD
Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew,
A7A7            G+G         D MajorD
danger is double; pleasures are few.
                        G+G       A7A7
Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines,
   D MajorD                 G+G         D MajorD
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine.
