Capo 2nd fret
 
 G  
In the black dust towns of east Tennessee 
          D                  G  
All the work's about the same 
 G  
And you may not go to the job in the ground 
          D                   G  
But you learn the miner's refrain 
 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 
 G  
When you search the rain for the silver cloud 
          D                G  
And you wait on days of gold 
 G  
When you pitch to the bottom 
 
And the dirt comes down 
      D                 G  
You cry so cold, so cold 
 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 
G x2  D  G 
 
 G  
Now there's something good in a worried song 
  D                        G  
For the trouble in your soul 
  G  
Cause a worried man who's been a long way down 
   D                    G  
Down in a deep dark hole 
 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 G  
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
 D                  G  
Down in a deep, dark hole 
 
   D                    G  
I'm down in a deep, dark hole
