Chords for Darrell Scott "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" Live at KDHX 8/27/17

[C#] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ In the [C#] deep dark hills of eastern [C#m] Kentucky, _ _ _ _ that's the place where I [C#] trace my [A] _ bloodline.
_ _ _ [G#] And [A] it's there I [E] read on [B] a hillside [A#m] _ _ gravestone, _ _ said [A] you will never _ _ [G#] leave _ Harlan _ _ [C#] alive. _ _
[G#m] [C#] Well _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ my _ _ [E] granddad's dead, walked [B] down Catterns [F#] Mountain, _ [C#] and he asked Tilly [E] Helton to be [A] his bride. _ _
_ [E] Said won't [A] you walk with [E] me _ out of [B] the mouth of this [F#] holler, _ or we'll [A] never _ [G#]
leave _ [C#] Harlan alive. _ _ _
Well the [E] sun comes up _ _
_ _ _ [A] about [B] 10 in the [E] morning, and the [C#m] sun goes down _ _ _ about [D] three [C#m] every [A] day.
[B] And you [E] fill your cup _ _ with [A] whatever bitter [B] brew you're [E] drinking, and you spend your [C#] life _ _
_ just thinking [Dm] of how to get [C#] away.
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ No one _ [D] ever [E] knew there was [B] coal in the mountains,
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] till a man [E] from the northeast _ [A] arrived. _ _
Yeah [E] he was waving some [A] hundred dollar bill, _
[E] _ and he said I'll [B] pay you for your [E] minerals, _
[A#m] _ _ _ [A] but he never _ [G#] left _ [G] _ [C#] Harlan alive. _
_ [C#m] _ _ [F#] _ [C] _ [A] _ _ _
[G#m] _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ Well granny she sold out [E] cheap, _ and [B] they moved out west of [F#] Pineville to a [C#] farm
_ with [E] big rich land river [A] _ wines.
_ Yeah [E] and I [A] bet they danced them a [E] jig, and they [B] laughed and
sang a [D#m] new song [A#m] who said [A] we'd never [G#] leave _ [C#m] _ Harlan alive. _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C#m] Mm-hmm.
_ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [G] _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ But [C#] the times got [E] hard, _ _ [B] and tobacco wasn't [A#m] selling, _ [C#m] _ and old [C#] granddad knew what [E] he'd do to [A] survive.
_ _ _ _ [E] Well he went and [A] dug for Harlan coal, [E] _ _ and sent [B] the money back to granny,
[A#m] _ but [A] he never _ _ [G#m] left [C#] _
[F#] _ [Bm] Harlan [C#m] alive. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well the sun [E] comes up _ _ _ _ [F#m] about 10 in [E] the morning, and the sun [C#m] goes down
_ _ [C#] _
about [D] _ [C#m] three [A] every day.
And [B] you fill your [E] cup, go on, fill it up, _ [A] with whatever bitter brew [E] you're
drinking.
And you [C#] spend your life _ digging coal from [D] the bottom _ of your [C#] grave.
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [C#] _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ Oh [C#] in the deep
dark hills of eastern Kentucky, _ _ _ see that's the place where I trace my [A] _ bloodline, my _ [C#] _ _
bloodline.
_ _ _ _ And it's there I read on a _ _ [A#m] hillside _ _ _ gravestone, [F#] said you will [A] never _ _ [G#m] leave _ Harlan _ _ [C#] alive. _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _
