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 
 
VERSE 2: 
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 
 
CHORUS: 
 
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 
 
VERSE 3: 
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 
 
CHORUS: 
 
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
