Patty Loveless - Youll never leave harlen alive

N.C.

In the deep dark hills of Eastern Kentucky Thats the place where I traced my bloodline And its ^Emthere I ^Gread on a hi^Dllside gra^Cvestone You'll n^Gever leave Ha^Drlen a^Emlive Oh my Grandfathers ^GDad crossed the Cumb^Derland Mou^Cntains Where ^Emhe took a pr^Getty girl to be his b^Cride Said "Won't you ^Emwalk with ^Gme out of the ^Dmouth of this h^Coller Or w^Eme'll never leave Ha^Drlen a^Emlive"

Where the sun comes ^Gup about t^Cen in the mor^Gnin And the sun goes d^Emown about t^Fhree in the ^Cday And you fill your c^Gup with whatever ^Cbitter brew you're d^Emrinkin And you spend your life just thinkin of h^Dow to get aw^Emay

No ^Emone ever k^Gnew there was c^Doal in them mo^Cuntains T^Emill a man from the no^Grtheast ar^Crived Wavin h^Emundred dollar b^Gills Said "I'll p^Day for your m^Cinerals" But^Em he never left H^Darlen a^Emlive Gr^Emandma sold out c^Gheap and they m^Doved out west of Pi^Cneville To a ^Emfarm where Big Ri^Gchland River w^Cinds And I bet they da^Emnced them a ^Gjig And they laughed and s^Dang a new s^Cong "Who said ^Emwe'd never leave H^Darlen a^Emlive" But t^Emhe times got h^Gard and to^Dbacco wasn't se^Cllin And ol^Emd Granddad knew what h^Ge'd do to s^Curvive He^Em went and dug for H^Garlan coal And sent the m^Doney back to G^Crandma But he n^Emever left H^Darlen al^Emive

Where ^Gthe sun co^Cmes up about ^Gten in the mornin And the sun goes d^Emown about t^Fhree in the ^Cday And you fill your c^Gup with whatever ^Cbitter brew you're d^Emrinkin And you spend your life diggin coal from the b^Dottom of your g^Emrave Mmmmmmmm You'll never leave Ha^Drlen al^Emive
