Chorus: F Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning F And the sun goes down about three in the day F And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin' Dm And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away G No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains Bb 'Til a man from the Northeast arrived G Waving hundred dollar bills said, I'll pay you for your minerals Dm But he never left Harlan alive Dm G Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville Bb To a farm where big Richland River winds G I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song Dm Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive (Instrumental)Chorus Chords G But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't selling Bb And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive G He went and dug for Harlan coal And sent the money back to granny Dm But he never left Harlan alive Chorus: F Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning F And the sun goes down about three in the day F And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin' F And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away Last Chorus: F Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning F And the sun goes down about three in the day F And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin' Dm And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave G In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky Bb That's the place where I trace my bloodline G And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone Dm
