Dolly Parton - 09 - Dark As A Dungeon chords
Start Jamming...
[F#]
Come and listen you fellows [B] so young and [C#] so fine
[F#] And seek not your fortune [B] in the dark dream
[F#] It will form as a habit
[B] Seeping [C#] your soul till [F#] the blood in your veins
Runs [B] as black as the coal
There's many a man
That [B] I've known in [C#] my day
[F#] Who lived just to labor [B] his old life [F#] away
Like a fiend with his dope [B] and a drunkard [C#] his wine
[F#] A man will have lust [B] for the lure of the night
[F#]
[C#] It's dark as a dungeon, [G#] damp as [F#] a fume
[C#] The danger is double and [F#] the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls, [B] where the sun never [C#] shines
[F#] It's dark as a dungeon way [B] down in [F#] my head
I hope when I'm gone [B] and the ages [C#] shall roll
[F#] My body blackened [B] and turned [F#] into coal
Then I'll look from the door of [B] my heavenly [C#] home
And [F#] I'll pity a [B] dig in [F#] my bones
[C#] It's dark as a dungeon, [B] damp as [F#] a fume
Where [C#] the danger is double and [B] the pleasures [F#] are few
Where the rain never falls, where [B] the sun never [C#] shines
[F#] It's dark as a dungeon [B] way down in [F#] my head
Where the rain never falls, where [F#] the sun never [C#] shines
[F#] It's dark as a dungeon way [B] down in my head
