Intro
Em
[Verse 1]
Em G D A
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
Em G C
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
C G D A
And it’s there I read on a hillside gravestone
C B7 Em
You will never leave Harlan alive

Em
[Verse 2]
Em G D A
Well my granddad’s dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
Em G C
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
Bm C D A
Said, won’t you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
C B7 Em
Or we’ll never leave Harlan alive
[Chorus]
G C D G
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Em C G C
And the sun goes down about three in the day
G C D G
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
Em C Em
And you spend your life just thinkin’ of how to get away
[Verse 3]
Em G D A
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
Em G C
‘Til a man from the Northeast arrived
C G D A
Waving them hundred dollar bills said, hey I’ll pay you for your minerals
C B7 Em
But he never left Harlan alive
C B7 Em
[Verse 4]
Em G D A
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
Em G C
To a farm where big Richland River winds
C G D A
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
C B7 Em
Who said we’d never leave Harlan alive
[Instrumental Break]

Em
[Verse 5]
Em G D A
But the times they got hard and tobacco wasn’t selling
Em G C
And ole granddad knew what he’d do to survive
C G D A
He went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to granny
C B7 Em
But he never left Harlan alive
[Chorus]
G C D G
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Em C G C
And the sun goes down about three in the day
G C D G
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
Em C G
And you spend your life just thinkin’ of how to get away
[Last Chorus]
G C D G
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Em C G C
And the sun goes down about three in the day
G C D G
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
Em C Em
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
