    G
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
      Bb
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
     G
And it's there Ipread on`a hillside gravestone
     Dm
jYou wil never leave Harlan alive

    G
Well my granddad's dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
    Bb
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
 G
Said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
     Dm
Or we'll never leave Harlan alive


Chorus:
          F
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
      F
And the sun goes down about three in the day
    F
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
          Dm
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away


    G
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
    Bb
'Til a man from the Northeast arrived
    G
Waving hundred dollar bills said, I'll pay you for your minerals
    Dm
But he never left Harlan alive

Dm
    G
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
   Bb
To a farm where big Richland River winds
      G
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
     Dm
Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive

(Instrumental)Chorus Chords

    G
But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
    Bb
And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive
      G
He went and dug for Harlan coal And sent the money back to granny
  Dm
But he never left Harlan alive


Chorus:
          F
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
      F
And the sun goes down about three in the day
          F
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
          F
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away


Last Chorus:
          F
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
      F
And the sun goes down about three in the day
         F
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
          Dm
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave

    G
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
    Bb
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
     G
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
     Dm
