Gm
[Verse 1]
Gm A# F C
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
Gm A# Eb
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
Eb A# F C
And it’s there I read on a hillside gravestone
Eb D7 Gm
You will never leave Harlan alive

Gm
[Verse 2]
Gm A# F C
Well my granddad’s dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
Gm A# Eb
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
Dm Eb F C
Said, won’t you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
Eb D7 Gm
Or we’ll never leave Harlan alive
[Chorus]
A# Eb F A#
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Gm Eb A# Eb
And the sun goes down about three in the day
A# Eb F A#
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
Gm Eb Gm
And you spend your life just thinkin’ of how to get away
[Verse 3]
Gm A# F C
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
Gm A# Eb
‘Til a man from the Northeast arrived
Eb A# F C
Waving them hundred dollar bills said, hey I’ll pay you for your minerals
Eb D7 Gm
But he never left Harlan alive
Eb D7 Gm
[Verse 4]
Gm A# F C
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
Gm A# Eb
To a farm where big Richland River winds
Eb A# F C
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
Eb D7 Gm
Who said we’d never leave Harlan alive
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Gm A# F C
But the times they got hard and tobacco wasn’t selling
Gm A# Eb
And ole granddad knew what he’d do to survive
Eb A# F C
He went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to granny
Eb D7 Gm
But he never left Harlan alive
[Chorus]
A# Eb F A#
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Gm Eb A# Eb
And the sun goes down about three in the day
A# Eb F A#
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
Gm Eb A#
And you spend your life just thinkin’ of how to get away
[Last Chorus]
A# Eb F A#
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Gm Eb A# Eb
And the sun goes down about three in the day
A# Eb F A#
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’
Gm Eb Gm
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
