[Gm] [Bb]
[C] [Eb]
[Gm]
[D] [Gm] [C]
[Gm] In the deep [Bb] dark hills [Am] of [Cm] eastern Kentucky
That's [Gm] the place [Bb] where I trace [Eb] my bloodline
And it's [A] there I [Bb] rest [Am]
on the [Eb] hillside gravestone
[G] You'll never [D] leave Harlan [Gm] alive
Oh my grandfather's day
Across [Am] the calm Maryland [Eb] mountain
[Gm] Where he took a pretty girl to be his [Eb] bride
He said, won't you walk [Bb] with me
Out of [C] the mountains [Eb] here I learn
You'll [Gm] never
[D] leave Harlan [Gm] alive
Where the sun [Bb] comes up
[Eb] About ten [Bb] in the morning
And the [Gm] sun goes down
[Ab] About three [Eb] in the day
And you fill [Bb] your cup
With [Eb] whatever brew [Bb] you're drinking
And [Gm] you spend your life
Just thinking about [Ab] how [Gm] to get away
[F]
[A] [C] [Bb]
[Eb] [Dm]
[Eb] [Gm]
[Bb]
[Eb]
[Bb] [D] [Gm]
Well, mother [Bb] knew there [Am] was coal in [Eb] them mountains
[Gm] Till a man [Bb] from the [Gm] northeast [Eb] arrived
Weaving hundred [Bb] dollar bills
Said [C] I'll pay you for [Eb] your minerals
[Gm] But he never [Eb] left [Bm] Harlan [Gm] alive
Well, grandpa sold [Bb] out cheap
[C] They moved out [Eb] west of Pineville
[Gm] To the place where big [Bb] Richland [Eb] River winds
And I bet they'd dance [Bb]
down the trip
And they'd [G] last [C] to sing the new [Eb] song
Who [Gm] said you'll never [D] leave Harlan [Gm] alive
Where the sun [Bb] comes up
[Eb] About ten in [Bb] the morning
And [Gm] the sun goes down
About [D] [Eb] three in the day
And you [Bb] fill your cup
With [Eb] whatever brew [Bb] you're drinking
And [Gm] you spend your life
Just thinking about how to get away
Well,
[Bb] times got hard
[C] And [Am] tobacco [Eb] wasn't selling
And grandpa knew [Bb] what he'd do to [Eb] survive
He went and dug for [C] Harlan [Gm] coal
[Am] Sent the money back [Eb] to granny
But he never left [Bm] Harlan [Gm]
alive
Where the sun comes [Bb] up
[Eb] About [Bb] ten in the morning
And the [Gm] sun goes down
About three [Eb] in the day
And you fill [Bb] your cup
With [Eb] whatever brew [Bb] you're drinking
And you [Gm] spend your life
Digging coal [Fm] from the bottom [Gm] of the grave
