[D] [Bb]
[Eb] [F]
[Bb] Come and visit your fellows so [Eb] young and [F] so fine,
[Bb] And seek not your fortune in [Eb] a dark, dreary mind.
It'll go on as [Bb] a habit [Eb] and seep in your [F]
soul,
Till the [Bb] stream of your blood is [Eb] as black as [Bb] gold.
[F] It's dark as a dungeon [Eb] and damp [Bb] as a dew,
[F] Where danger is double [Eb] and pleasures [Bb] are few.
Where the rain never falls [Eb] and the sun [F] never shines,
[Bb] It's dark as a dungeon [Eb] way down in [Bb] the mines.
That's as many as the man [Eb] I've seen in [F] my days,
[Bb] Who lived just to labor [Eb]
his whole life [Bb]
away.
Be like a fiend with his stove [Eb] or a [F] drunkard his wine,
[Bb] Man will have lust [Eb] for the lure of [Bb]
a mine.
[F]
It's dark as a dungeon [Eb]
and damp [Bb] as a dew,
[F] Where danger is double [Eb] and pleasures [Bb] are few.
Where the rain never falls [Eb] and the sun [F] never shines,
[Bb]
It's dark as a dungeon [Eb] way down [Bb] in the mines.

[Fm] [Bb]

[F]
[Bb] I hope when I'm gone [Eb] and the ages [F] shall roll,
[Bb] My body will blacken [Eb] and turn into [Bb] gold.
Then I'll look from the door of [Eb] my heavenly [F]
home,
[Bb] And pity the miner [Eb]
digging [Bb] my bones.
[F] It's dark as a dungeon [Eb] and damp [Bb] as a dew,
[F] Where danger is double [Eb] and pleasures [Bb] are few.
Where the rain never falls [Eb] and the sun never [F]
shines,
[Bb] It's dark as a dungeon [Eb] way down in [Bb] the mines.
Where the rain never falls and [Eb] the sun never [F]
shines,
[Bb] It's dark as a dungeon [Eb] way down in the [Bb] mines.
