Chords for Country Gentlemen - Dark as a Dungeon

All right, somebody asked for this.
Merle Travis wrote this, and we [Bm] recorded it a long time ago,
and then we did it again on the scene's 15th anniversary album.
And we're going to do it here.
This is called Dark as a Dungeon down in the mountains.

_ _ Come, oh, young fellows, [E] so young and [F#] so fine. _
_ _ [B] And seek not your fortune in [E] the dark [B] dreary mind. _ _
_ It will form as a habit, [E] seep in your [F#] _ soul, _
till [B] the stream of your life-blood [E] is dark as [B] the cold. _ _
_ [F#] It's dark as a dungeon, _ [E] damp [B] as the dew,
[F#] where the dangers are double [E] and the pleasures are [B] few.
_ _ Where the rain never falls [E] and the sun [C#] never _ [F#] _ shines.
_ [B] It's dark as a dungeon [E] way down in [G#m] the mine.

_ _ _ _ _ I hope when I die [E] and the ages [F#] shall roll,
_ _ [B] _ [F#] [B] my body will blacken [E] and turn [B] into coal.
_ _ _ _ I'll take _ a look from [E] my _ [F#] heavenly _ hall
_ [B] and pity the miners [E] a-diggin' [B] my bones.
_ _ _ It's many _ a man [E] I've seen in my [F#] _
_ day
_ [B] who lived just to labor _ [E] their poor life [B] _
away.
_ _ Like a fiend with his dough, _ [E] a drunkard [F#] his wine,
_ _ _ [B] a man will have lost for [E] the lower [B] of the mine.
_ _ [F#] It's dark as a dungeon, _ [E] damp [B] as the dew,
[F#] where the dangers are double [E] and the pleasures [B] are few. _ _
Where the rain [G#m] never [B] falls [E] and the sun never [F#] _ _ shines.
