         G/B         C                 G                         A                       C 
And it's there I read on a hillside   gravestone
                     Em                             B7             Em 
You'll never leave Harlan alive.
                               Em                                 G                                                 D                                   A 
Oh, my grandfather's dad crossed the   Cumberland Mountains
                                   Em                               G                                       C 
Where he took a pretty girl to be his bride.
                                 G/B                       C                       G                                           A                                     C 
He said   "Won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
                               Em                             B7               Em 
Or we'll never leave   Harlan   alive."
                                                         G                         C       D                 G 
Where the sun comes up, about ten in the morning
                                                               Em                             F                                 C 
And   the sun goes down about three in the day
                                                         G                                       C                             D               G 
And you fill your cup whatever bitter brew you're drinking
                 D/F#                               Em                                                                 F                           Em 
And you spend your life just thinking 'bout how to get away.
               Em       G                         D                         A 
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
                 Em                       G                 C 
Until a man   from the Northeast arrived.
 G/B       C                             G                             A                       C 
Waving hundred   dollar bills said I'll pay for your minerals
 Em                       B7             Em 
He never left Harlan   alive.
                                   Em                     G                                       D                                                     A 
Grandma sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
                   Em                                       G                                         C 
To a farm where big Richland River winds,
                   G/B                           C                                     G 
and I'll bet they   danced them a jig
                                                                         A                               C 
and they laughed and sang a new song,
                                                     Em                         B7                   Em 
"Who said we'd   never leave Harlan alive?"
                           Em                                         G                           D                                     A 
But the times, they got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
                                 Em                                                     G                                     C 
And old Granddad knew what he'd do to survive.
           G/B                       C                                         G                                         A                                       C 
He   went and dug for Harlan coal, sent the money back to Grandma
                         Em                     B7               Em 
But he never left Harlan alive.
                                                         G                         C     D                   G 
Where the sun comes up, about ten in the morning
                                                           Em                                     F                           C 
And the sun goes down, about three in the day,
                                                           G                                                   C                             D                 G 
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
                 D/F#                               Em                                                                           F                                       Em 
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of the grave
   Em                         G                   D                       A
