[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
Gm Ab 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 3]
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 them hundred dollar bills said, hey I’ll pay you for your minerals
Ab G7 Cm
But he never left Harlan alive
Ab G7 Cm
[Verse 4]
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

I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song

Who said we’d never leave Harlan alive

[Verse 5]
Cm D# A# F
But the times they got hard and tobacco wasn’t selling

And ole granddad knew what he’d do to survive

He went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to granny

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
