[Gm] [C] [G]
[C] [Fm] [Bb]
[Gm] [Bb] [C] [Bb]
[F] [G] [Gm]
In the deep dark [C] hills of eastern Kentucky, that's a place where I trace [Bm] my bloodlines.
[Gm] And [Eb] it's there [Gm] I read on [C] a hillside [Eb] gravestone, [Gm] you'll never [D] leave her [Gm] little life.
Oh my grandfather [Bb] did cross [Fm] Camden
[C] mountains, where [Gm] he took a pretty [Bb] girl to be his [Eb] [Bb] bride.
Said [Eb] won't you [Bb] walk with me out of [Gm] the mouth of [Eb] this holler, [Gm] we'll never [D] leave her [Gm] little life.
Where the sun [Bb] comes up [Eb] about [Bb] ten in the morning [F] and the sun [G] goes [Gm] down about [Abm] three [Eb] in the day.
And you fill [Bb] your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking and [F] you spend your [Gm] life just thinking of [Abm] how to [Gm] get away.
No one ever [Bb]
knew it [F] was cold in [C] the mountains, [Gm] till a man from [Bb]
[Eb] northeast [Bb] arrived.
Weighed [Eb] that hundred [Bb] dollar bill, said [C] I'll pay for your [Eb]
medicine, [Gm] he never [D] left her little [Gm] life.
Grandma sold out [Bbm]
cheap and [F] they lived [Gm] out [C] west at [D] Conwell.
[Gm] To a farm where [Bb] big rich land was, [Eb] [Bb]
and I bet [Eb] they danced in [Bb] the jam and they laughed [F] and sang [Gm] a new [Eb] song.
Who said [Gm] you'll never leave [D]
her [Gm] little life.

But the times they got hard and tobacco wasn't selling, and old [N]
Grandad knew what he did to survive.
[C]
[Bb] He [Eb] went and dug for harlequin, [Bb] sent the [C] money back to [Eb] Grandma.
[Gm]
He never [D] left her [Gm] little life.
Where the sun [Bb] comes up [Eb] about ten [Bb]
in the morning [F] and the sun [Gm] goes down about [Eb] [Ab] three in [Eb] the day.
And you fill [Bb] your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking [F] and you spend [G] your life [Gm] digging coal [Ab] from the bottom of [Gm] your grave.
