Verse 1:

A5
There's a deep dark hole in the mountain

                               D5
Where the devil sleeps all the time

A5                         D5
Guarding his gold from the boys, young and old

A5               G5          A5
From the men who worked the mine

A5               G5          A5
From the men who worked the mine


Jam over verse same progression


Verse 2:
There's a deep dark hole in the mountain
Where we'd shovel and pick everyday
Stealin' his gold, yeah, the boys, young and old
They're gone but not far away
They're gone but not far away

chorus:

D5                        A5
Oh, devil's dream in the mountain

D5                      A5
Haulin' it down to the mill

D5              A5
Day after day, drawin' our pay

A5               G5           A5
From a deep dark hole in the hill

A5               G5           A5
From a deep dark hole in the hill

A5     
There's a deep dark hole in the mountain
   
                         D5 , D5 , D5 , D5 , D5
That last shot was a bum

A5                        D5
Let's muck her out, boys, load'er up

A5              G5       A5
And blow her to kingdom come

A5                G5       A5
We'll blow her to kingdom come
