Darrell Scott - Youll never leave harlan alive

In the d^Ameep, dark h^Cills of e^Gastern Ken^Dtucky That's the p^Amlace where I tr^Cace my bloodl^Fine And it’s t^Fhere I ^Cread on a ^Ghillside grave^Dstone You will n^Fever leave ^E7Harlan a^Amlive

Well my g^Amranddad’s d^Cad walked down K^Gatahrins ^DMountain And he ^Amasked Tillie H^Celton to be his ^Fbride Said, won’t you w^Falk with ^Cme out of the m^Gouth of this h^Doller Or we’ll n^Fever leave ^E7Harlan a^Amlive

Where the sun comes ^Cup about ^Ften in^G the mor^Cning And the sun g^Amoes down about ^Bbthree in the ^Fday And you fill your c^Cup with whatever b^Fitter b^Grew you’re ^Cdrinkin’ And you spend your l^Amife just thinkin’ of ^Bbhow to get a^Amway

No one e^Amver ^Cknew there was ^Gcoal in them ^Dmountains ‘Til a ^Amman from the ^CNortheast ar^Frived Waving hundred d^Follar ^Cbills said, I’ll ^Gpay you for your ^Dminerals But he n^Fever left ^E7Harlan ^Amalive

Granny s^Amold out c^Cheap and they moved o^Gut west of P^Dineville To a farm wh^Amere big Rich^Cland River ^Fwinds I bet they d^Fanced them a ^Cjig, laughed and ^Gsang a new ^Dsong Who said we’d ^Fnever leave H^E7arlan a^Amlive

But the t^Amimes they got ^Chard and tob^Gacco wasn^D’t selling And ole grand^Amdad knew what h^Ce’d do to s^Furvive He went and ^Fdug for Harlan ^Ccoal and sent^G the money back to g^Dranny But he n^Fever left ^E7Harlan ^Amalive

Where the sun comes ^Cup about ^Ften^G in the ^Cmorning And th^Ce sun goes ^Amdown about ^Bbthree in the ^Fday And you fill your c^Cup with whatever b^Fitter b^Grew you’re ^Cdrinkin’ And you spend your l^Amife just thinkin’ of ^Bbhow to get a^Fway Where the sun comes ^Cup about ^Ften^G in the ^Cmorning And th^Ce sun goes ^Amdown about ^Bbthree in the ^Fday And you fill your c^Cup with whatever b^Fitter b^Grew you’re ^Cdrinkin’ And you spend your l^Amife digging coal from the ^Bbbottom of your ^Amgrave

In the ^Amdeep, dark ^Chills of ^Geastern Ken^Dtucky That's the p^Amlace where I ^Ctrace my blood^Fline And it’s ^Fthere I ^Cread on a h^Gillside grave^Dstone You'll n^Fever leave ^E7Harlan a^Amlive
