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

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

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