[Verse 1]
G#m B F# C#
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky

That's the place where I trace my bloodline
Fb B F# C#
And it’s there I read on a hillside gravestone
Fb D#7 G#m
You will never leave Harlan alive

[Verse 2]
G#m B F# C#
Well my granddad’s dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
G#m B Fb
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
D#m Fb F# C#
Said, won’t you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
Fb D#7 G#m
Or we’ll never leave Harlan alive
[Chorus]
B Fb F# B
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
G#m Fb B Fb
And the sun goes down about three in the day
B Fb F# B
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
G#m Fb G#m
And you spend your life just thinkin’ of how to get away
[Verse 3]
G#m B F# C#
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
G#m B Fb
‘Til a man from the Northeast arrived

Waving them hundred dollar bills said, hey I’ll pay you for your minerals
Fb D#7 G#m
But he never left Harlan alive

Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
G#m B Fb
To a farm where big Richland River winds

Who said we’d never leave Harlan alive

Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning

And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
