[Gm]
[F] [Dm] [Gm]
In the deep dark [D]
hills of [N] eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I traced my
[Eb] bloodline
And it's there I [Bb]
read [C] on a [Eb] hillside gravestone
[Gm] You'll never [D] leave [G] [F] Harlan [Gm]
alive
Oh my grandfather's [Bb] dead
[F] Crossed the Comber Hood Mountains
[C]
[F] Where [Gm] he took a pretty [Bb] girl to be [Eb] his bride
[Bb] Said [Eb] won't you walk with [Bb] me
Out of [C] the mouth of [Eb] this holler
[Gm] We'll never [D] leave [G] Harlan [Gm]
alive
Where the sun [Bb] comes up
[Eb] About [Bb] ten in the morning and the sun [Gm] goes down
[Ab] About [Bb] three in [Eb] the day [Bb] and you fill your cup
[Eb] Whatever bitter brew [Bb] you're drinking and you spend [Gm] your life
Just thinking of [Ab] how to [Gm] get away
No one ever [Bb] knew there was [F] coal in them [C] mountains
Till [Gm] a man [Bb] from the northeast [Eb] arrived
Waving hundred dollar [Bb] bills
Said I'll [C] pay for [Eb] your minerals
[Gm] He never [D] left Harlan [Gm]
alive
Grandma sold [Bb] out cheap
And [F] they moved out [C] west to Pineville
To [Gm] a farm where [Bb] big rich land river [Eb]
winds
[Bb] And I bet [Eb] they danced in a [Bb] jig
And they laughed and [C] sang a new [Eb]
song

[F] And tobacco wasn't [C] selling
[Gm] And old Granddad knew what he'd [Bb] do [Eb] to survive
[Bb] He went [Eb] and dug for [Bb] Harlan coal
And sent [C] the money back [Eb] to Grandma
But [Gm] he never [D] left [Gm] Harlan alive
Where the sun [Bb] comes up
About ten in the morning and the sun [Gm] goes down
[Ab] About three [Eb] in the day [Bb] and you fill your cup
With [Eb] whatever bitter brew [Bb] you're drinking
And you spend [Gm] your life digging coal
