Acapella:
In the deep dark hills of Eastern Kentucky,
That's the place where I trace my bloodline,
And G/Bit's theCre I read Gon a hillside A gravestone C
You'll nevEmer leave Harlan aB7live. Em
Oh, my grandfatEmher's dad crossed tGhe Cumberland Mountains D A
Where he took a pEmretty girl to be hGis bride. C
He said "Won't G/Byou walk with mCe out of the Gmouth of this holler A C
Or we'll never Emleave Harlan alB7ive." Em
Where the sun comes up, abouGt ten in the mCorninDg G
And the sun goes down about thEmree in the day F C
And you fill your cup whatevGer bitter brew you'reC drinking D G
And you D/Fspend your life justEm thinking 'bout how to get away. F Em
No one Emever kGnew there was Dcoal in them mAountains
Until a Emman from the GNortheast Carrived.
G/BWaving Chundred dollar Gbills said I'll Apay for your Cminerals
EmHe never left B7Harlan aEmlive.
Grandma sold out Emcheap and theGy moved out west of PDineville A
To a farmEm where big Richland RiGver winds, C
and I'll G/Bbet they danced Cthem a jig G
and they laughed and sang a new songA, C
"Who said we'd never leavEme Harlan alive?B7" Em
EmGDAEmGCG/BCGACEmB7Em
But the timesEm, they got hard and tobGacco wasn't selDling A
And old GranddadEm knew what he'd do to surviveG. C
He wG/Bent and dug forC Harlan coal, sent theG money back to GrandmaA C
But he neverEm left Harlan B7alive. Em
Where the sun comes up, abouGt ten in the mCorniDng G
And the sun goes down, about Emthree in the day, F C
And you fill your cup with whGatever bitter brew you're dCrinking D G
And you D/Fspend your life diggEming coal from the bottom of the grave F Em
