Verse
Cm D# A# F
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
Cm D# Ab
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
Ab D# A# F
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
Ab G7 Cm
You will never leave Harlan alive
Cm D# A# F
Well my granddad's dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
Cm D# Ab
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
Ab D# A# F
Said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
Ab G7 Cm
Or we'll never leave Harlan alive
[Chorus]
D# Ab A# D#
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Cm Ab D# Ab
And the sun goes down about three in the day
D# Ab A# D#
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
Cm Ab Cm
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away
[Verse]
Cm D# A# F
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
Cm D# Ab
'Til a man from the Northeast arrived
Ab D# A# F
Waving hundred dollar bills said, I'll pay you for your minerals
Ab G7 Cm
But he never left Harlan alive
Ab G7 Cm
Cm D# A# F
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
Cm D# Ab
To a farm where big Richland River winds
Ab D# A# F
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
Ab G7 Cm
Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive
[Instrumental Break]
(same chords as verse)
Cm D# A# F
But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
Cm D# Ab
And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive
Ab D# A# F
He went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to granny
Ab G7 Cm
But he never left Harlan alive
[Chorus]
D# Ab A# D#
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Cm Ab D# Ab
And the sun goes down about three in the day
D# Ab A# D#
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
Cm Ab D#
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away
[Last Chorus]
D# Ab A# D#
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Cm Ab D# Ab
And the sun goes down about three in the day
D# Ab A# D#
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
Cm Ab Cm
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
Cm D# A# F
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
Cm D# Ab
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
Ab D# A# F
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
Ab G7 Cm
You will never leave Harlan alive
