Intro (A)   (D)   (A)   (D)   (A)

*(A) Come all young fellows so (D) young and so (E) fine
*And (A) seek not your fortune in the (D) dark dreary (A) mine
(A) It will form as a habit and (D) seep in your (E) soul
Till the (A) stream of your life blood runs (D) dark as the (A) coal

Chorus
It's (E) dark as a dungeon (D) damp as the (A) dew 
Where the (E) dangers are double and the (D) pleasures are (A) few
Where the rain never falls and the (D) sun never (E) shines
It's (A) dark as a dungeon way (D) down in the (A) mine

Instrumental break – Follow pattern of first two lines*

(A) It's many a man I've (D) seen in my (E) day
Will (A) live just to labor his (D) poor live a-(A)-way
Like a fiend with his dope a (D) drunkard his (E) wine
A (A) man will have lust for the (D) lure of the (A) mine

And many a man I've (D) seen in my (E) day
Who (A) lives just to labor his (D) poor live a (A) way
I'll take a look from my (D) heavenly (E) home
And (A) pity the miner (D) diggin' my (A) bones

Repeat Chorus and end song

Note: On the recording, they end by slowing down at the word
'way' in the last line and don't change to (A) until after 'mine'
If you have the recording, you will hear it.
