Intro
C#m
[Verse 1]
C#m E B F#
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
C#m E A
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
A E B F#
And it’s there I read on a hillside gravestone
A G#7 C#m
You will never leave Harlan alive

C#m
[Verse 2]
C#m E B F#
Well my granddad’s dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
C#m E A
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
G#m A B F#
Said, won’t you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
A G#7 C#m
Or we’ll never leave Harlan alive
[Chorus]
E A B E
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
C#m A E A
And the sun goes down about three in the day
E A B E
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
C#m A C#m
And you spend your life just thinkin’ of how to get away
[Verse 3]
C#m E B F#
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
C#m E A
‘Til a man from the Northeast arrived
A E B F#
Waving them hundred dollar bills said, hey I’ll pay you for your minerals
A G#7 C#m
But he never left Harlan alive
A G#7 C#m
[Verse 4]
C#m E B F#
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
C#m E A
To a farm where big Richland River winds
A E B F#
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
A G#7 C#m
Who said we’d never leave Harlan alive
[Instrumental Break]

C#m
[Verse 5]
C#m E B F#
But the times they got hard and tobacco wasn’t selling
C#m E A
And ole granddad knew what he’d do to survive
A E B F#
He went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to granny
A G#7 C#m
But he never left Harlan alive
[Chorus]
E A B E
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
C#m A E A
And the sun goes down about three in the day
E A B E
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
C#m A E
And you spend your life just thinkin’ of how to get away
[Last Chorus]
E A B E
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
C#m A E A
And the sun goes down about three in the day
E A B E
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
C#m A C#m
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
