_ _ [C] _ In _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] the _ deep dark hills _ of _ eastern Kentucky _ _ _ That's the place where I trace my _ bloodline _
_ _ And it's there I read _ on a _ hillside _ gravestone _ You _ _ [Gm] will _ never [D] leave _ [Gm] Harlan alive _ _ _
Oh my _ _ grandfather's [Bb] stead crossed [F] the _ Cumberland [C] mountain _ _ Where he [Gm] took a pretty [Bb] girl to be his [Eb] bride
_ _ Said won't you walk with [F] me out the mouth of this [C] holler _ Or [Gm] we'll [Eb] _ never [D] leave _ Harlan [Gm] _ alive
_ Where the sun [Bb] comes _ up _ about [Eb] _ [C] ten in the [Bb] morning And the sun goes [Gm] _ down _ _ about [Eb] three in the day
And [Bb] you feel you're caught _ _ with whatever bitter brew you're drinking You spend [Gm] your life just thinking of [Eb] how to [Gm] get away
_ _ _ No one ever [F] knew [C] there was coal in their _ mountains _ _ Till a [Gm] man from [Bb] the _ northeast [Eb] _
arrived
_ _ Waving hundred [Bb] dollar bills, said I'll [F] pay [C] four _ mils _ But he [Eb] _ never [D] left _ Harlan [Gm]
alive
_ _ _ Grandma sold out [Bbm] cheap and they [F] moved out west to [C] Pineville _ _ To a [Gm] farm where big [Bb] Richland River [Eb] _
was
And I bet they danced and [Bb] jigged and laughed [F] and sang [C] new songs _ Who [G] said [Eb] we'd never [D] leave _ Harlan [Gm]
alive
_ _ _ But the times they [F] got hard and tobacco [C] wasn't selling And [G] old granddad knew [Bb] what he'd do to [Eb] survive _ _ _
He went and dug [Gm] for harlan [Bb] coal [C] and sent the money back to grandma _ _ But [Eb] he never [D] left _ [Gm] Harlan alive _ _
Where [G] the sun [Bb] comes _ up _ [Eb] about [F] ten in the morning And the sun [Gm] goes _ down _ _ [Eb] about three in the day
And you [Bb] feel you're caught _ _ with whatever bitter brew you're drinking You spend [Gm] your life digging coal from the [Eb] bottom of [Gm] your grave _ _ _ _ _
