You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive
By: Darrell Scott
I only added the chords for the rest of this one. All credit should go to indymed.
Verse 1:
In the dDmeep, dark hFills of eCastern KentGucky
That's the pDmlace where I trFace my bloodlBbine
And it’sBb there IF read on aC hillside Ggravestone
You will nBbever leave HA7arlan alDmive
Verse 2:
Well my gDmranddad’sF dad walked downC Katahrins MouGntain
And he asked TDmillie Helton tFo be his bBbride
Said, won’t youBb walk withF me out of theC mouth of thisG holler
Or we’llBb never leaveA7 Harlan Dmalive
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’reF drinkin’
And you spend your lDmife just thinkin’ oBbf how to getDm away
Verse 3:
No one eDmver knew Fthere was coal iCn them mountGains
‘Til a manDm from the NFortheast aBbrrived
Waving hundred dBbollar bFills said, I’llC pay you for yourG minerals
But he nBbever left HA7arlan aDmlive
Bb A7 Dm
Verse 4:
Granny sDmold out cFheap and they moved oCut west of PGineville
To a farm whDmere big RichFland River Bbwinds
I bet they dBbanced tFhem a jig, laCughed and sang a nGew song
Who saidBb we’d nevA7er leavDme Harlan alive
Instrumental Break: (same chords as verse)
Verse 5:
But the times tDmhey got hard aFnd tobacco wCasn’t sGelling
And ole grandDmdad knew what hFe’d do toBb survive
He went and Bbdug for HarlFan coal and sCent the money back Gto granny
But he nBbever left HA7arlan aDmlive
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’reF drinkin’
And you spend your lDmife just thinkin’ oBbf how to getF away
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’reF drinkin’
And you spend your lDmife digging coal from the bBbottom of your gDmrave
Last verse: (one strum for each chord and let it ring)
In the Dmdeep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the pDmlace where I trace my bloodline
And it’sDm there I read on a hillside gravestone
You'll nDmever leave Harlan alive
