       Dm        F        C          G
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
           Dm            F             Bb
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
         Bb      F         C        G
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
         Bb          A7      Dm
You will never leave Harlan alive

-Dm

       Dm         F               C         G
Oh, my granddad's dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
       Dm           F                Bb
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
                Bb          F           C             G
Said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
         Bb          A7     Dm-
Or we'll never leave Harlan alive

                    F        Bb - C      F
Where the sun comes up about ten  in the morning
                 Dm         Bb
And the sun goes down about three in the day
                  F                 Bb  -  C           F
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
                   Dm                    Bb         Dm
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away


       Dm   F              C            G
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
       Dm           F         Bb
Till a man from the Northeast arrived
       Bb             F                  C               G
Waving hundred dollar bills he said I'll pay ya for your minerals
       Bb         A7     Dm
But he never left Harlan alive

Bb, A7, Dm

Dm              F              C                 G
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
     Dm             F              Bb
To a farm where big Richland River winds
  Bb                     F                C               G
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
              Bb          A7     Dm
Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive

        Dm        F          C            G
But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
