INTRO: Em Em G G D D C C G G D D Em Em 


In the deep dark hills of Eastern Kentucky
C C
That's the place where I traced my bloodline.

G/B G/B C C G G A A C C
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em
You'll never leave Harlan alive.



Em Em G G D D A A
Oh, my Grandfathers Dad crossed the Cumberland Mountains
Em Em G G C C
Where he took a pretty girl to be his bride.
G/B G/B C C G G A A C C
He said "Won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler.
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em
Or we'll never leave Harlan Alive."


CHORUS:
G G C C D D G G
Where the sun comes up, about ten in the morning
Em Em F F C C
And the sun goes down about three in the day
G G C C D D G G
And you fill your cup whatever bitter brew your drinking
D/F# D/F# Em Em F F Em Em
And you spend your life, just thinking of, how to get away.




Em Em G G D D A A
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
Em Em G G C C
Until a man from the Northeast arrived.
G/B G/B C C G G A A C C
Waving hundred dollar bills said I'll pay for your minerals
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em
He never left Harlan alive.




Em Em G G D D A A
Grandma sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
Em Em G G C C
To a farm where big Richland River winds
G/B G/B C C G G
and I'll bet they danced a little jig
A A C C
and they laughed and sang a little song
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em
Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive.


Em Em G G D D A A Em Em G G C C G/B G/B C C G G A A C C Em Em B7 B7 Em Em



Em Em G G D D A A
But the times they got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
Em Em G G C C
And Old Granddad knew what he'd do to survive.
G/B G/B C C G G A A C C
He went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to Grandma
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em
But he never left Harlan alive.


CHORUS:

G G C C D D G G
Where the sun comes up, about ten in the morning
Em Em F F C C
And the sun goes down, about three in the day
G G C C D D G G
And you fill your cup whatever bitter brew your drinking
D/F# D/F# Em Em F F Em Em
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of the grave



Em Em G G D D A A

G/B G/B C C G G A A C C
