Dark As A Dungeon chords by 
Don Gibson

Key: Bb major•BPM: 85
Verse 1
G
It's as dark as a dungeon way down
in the mine
I never will forget one time when I was on a little
Verse 2
G
Visit
down home in Ebenezer,
Kentucky.
I was a- talkin' to an old man that
had known me ever
C
Since the day I was born, and an old
friend
Of the family. He says, "Son,
You don't know how lucky
you are to have a nice job like you've got
D
And don't have to dig out a livin'
from under these
Old hills and hollers like
me and your pappy
G
Used to." When I asked him why
he never had left and
Tried some other kind of work,
he says,
"Nawsir, you just won't do that.
If ever you get this old coal dust in your
blood, you're just
C
Gonna be a plain old coal
miner as long as you live."
He went on to say, "It's a habit
D
(CHUCKLE)
Sorta like chewin' tobaccer."
Come and listen you fellows, so young and so fine,
Verse 3
G
And
C
seek not your fortune in the dark,
G
dreary mines.
C
D
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul,
G
'Till the stream of your blood
C
G
is as black as the coal.
Verse 4
D
It's dark as a dungeon and
G
C
G
damp as the dew,
D
Where danger is double and
G
C
pleasures
G
are few,
Where the rain never falls and
C
D
the sun never shines
G
It's dark as a dungeon way
C
G
down in the mine.
It's a- many a man I have
seen in my day,
Who lived just to labor
C
his whole life away.
D
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine,
A man will have lust for the lure of the mines.
Verse 5
G
I hope when I'm gone
C
D
and the ages shall roll,
G
My body will blacken and
C
G
turn into coal.
Then I'll look from the door
C
D
of my heavenly home,
G
C
G
And pity the miner a- diggin' my bones.
Em
The mid
Verse 6
D
night, the morning,
G
C
or
G
the middle of day,
D
Is the same to the miner
G
C
G
who labors away.
C
D
G
Where the demons of death often
C
G
come by surprise,
C
One fall of the slate and
you're buried alive.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
