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
