#1.
Ab                               C#           Eb
Oh, come all you young fellas so young and so fine,
    Ab                         C#          Ab
and seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine.
Ab                        C#           Eb
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul,
         Ab                           C#           Ab
till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal.

CHORUS:
Ab         Eb                    Ab
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew.
          Eb                   Ab
Where the danger is double and pleasures are few.
Ab                                 C#        Eb
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines..
     Ab                    C#          Ab
it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines.

#2.
Ab                              C#         Eb
Well, it's many a man that I've seen in my day,
    Ab                      C#          Ab
who lived just to labor his whole life away.
Ab                               C#           Eb
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine..
  Ab                          C#          Ab
a man will have lust, for the lure of the mine.

CHORUS:
Ab         Eb                    Ab
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew.
          Eb                   Ab
Where the danger is double and pleasures are few.
Ab                                 C#        Eb
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines..
     Ab                    C#          Ab
it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines.

#3.
Ab                                C#         Eb
And I pray when I'm dead, and the ages shall roll..
        Ab                     C#        Ab
that my body would blacken and turn into coal.
Ab                                 C#       Eb
Then I'll look from the door of my Heavenly home
    Ab              C#         Ab
and pity the miner, digging my bones.

CHORUS:
Ab         Eb                    Ab
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew.
          Eb                   Ab
Where the danger is double and pleasures are few.
Ab                                 C#        Eb
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines..
     Ab                    C#          Ab
it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines.

OUTRO:
Ab         Eb                    Ab
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew.
          Eb                   Ab
Where the danger is double and pleasures are few.
Ab                                 C#        Eb
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines..
     Ab                    C#          Ab
it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines.
