Verse 2: Well my granddad's dad walked down Katahrins Mountain And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride Said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler Or we'll never leave Harlan alive Chorus:
Where the sun comes Fup about Bbten Cin the mForning And the sun gDmoes down about Bbthree Fin the Bbday And you fill your cFup with whatever bBbitter brCew you're dFrinkin' And you spend your lDmife just thinkin' of Bbhow to get aDmway
Verse 3: No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains 'Til a man from the Northeast arrived Waving hundred dollar bills said, I'll pay you for your minerals But he never left Harlan alive Bb A7 Dm Verse 4: Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville To a farm where big Richland River winds I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive Instrumental Break: (same chords as verse) Verse 5: But the times they got hard and tobacco wasn't selling And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive He went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to granny But he never left Harlan alive Repeat Chorus (last chord changes from Dm to F) Last Chorus:
Where the sun comes Fup about Bbten Cin the mForning And the sun gDmoes down about Bbthree Fin the Bbday And you fill your cFup with whatever bBbitter brCew you're dFrinkin' And you spend your lDmife digging coal from the bBbottom of your gDmrave
Last verse: Dm (one strum) In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky Dm (one strum) That's the place where I trace my bloodline Dm (one strum) And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone Dm (one strum) You'll never leave Harlan alive
