In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
      Bb majorBb

     DmDm
jYou wil never leave Harlan alive

Well my granddad's dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
    Bb majorBb
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
 G+G
Said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
     DmDm
Or we'll never leave Harlan alive

Chorus:
          FF
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
      FF
And the sun goes down about three in the day
    FF
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
          DmDm
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away


    G+G
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
    Bb majorBb
'Til a man from the Northeast arrived
    G+G
Waving hundred dollar bills said, I'll pay you for your minerals
    DmDm
But he never left Harlan alive

DmDm
    G+G
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
   Bb majorBb
To a farm where big Richland River winds
      G+G
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
     DmDm
Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive

(Instrumental)Chorus Chords

    G+G
But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
    Bb majorBb
And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive
      G+G
He went and dug for Harlan coal And sent the money back to granny
  DmDm
But he never left Harlan alive

Chorus:
          FF
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
      FF
And the sun goes down about three in the day
          FF
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
          FF
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away


Last Chorus:
          FF
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
      FF
And the sun goes down about three in the day
         FF
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
          DmDm
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave

    G+G
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
    Bb majorBb
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
     G+G
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
     DmDm
