You can't cut it with a knife
A man lies in the hospital
C G Am
Draining out his life
The trucks are on the back road
C G Am
In the dark the headlights shine
'Cause there's one man dead
C G Am
On that Harlan County line
Oh, anger, like poison
C G Am
Is eating at your soul
Your thoughts are loud as gunfire
C G Am
Your face as hard as coal
Bitterness, like buckshot
C G Am
Explodes inside your mind
And there's one man dead
C G Am Am7 Am
On that Harlan County line
Oh, a miner's life is fragile
C G Am
It could shatter just like ice
But those who bear the struggle
C G Am
Have always paid the price
There's blood upon the contract
C G Am
Like vinegar in wine
And there's one man dead
C G Am Am7 Am
On that Harlan County line
From the river bridge at Highsplint
C G Am
To the Brookside railroad track
You can feel the long strake building
C G Am
That can never be turned back
The dead go forward with us
C G Am
Not one is left behind
'Cause there's one man dead
C G Am
On that Harlan County line
Well, the night is as cold as iron
C G Am
You can feel it in your bones
It settles like a shroud upon
C G Am
The grave of Lawrence Jones
The graveyard shift is walking
C G Am
From the bathhouse into the mine
And there's one man dead
C G Am
On that Harlan County line
One man dead
C G Am
On that Harlan County line
One miner dead
C G Am
On that Harlan County line
