Youll Never Leave Harlan Alive Acordes

	  

verse 1: 
        Dm         F        C          G 
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky 
            Dm             F            Bb 
That's the place where I trace my bloodline 
          Bb      F         C         G 
And it?s there I read on a hillside gravestone 
          Bb          A7      Dm 
You will never leave Harlan alive 


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 


                    F        Bb  C       F 
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning 
             Dm             Bb    F      Bb 
And the sun goes down about three in the day 
                   F                 Bb      C          F 
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you?re drinkin? 
                    Dm                   Bb          Dm 
And you spend your life just thinkin? of how to get away 


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: 
                    F        Bb  C       F 
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning 
             Dm             Bb    F      Bb 
And the sun goes down about three in the day 
                   F                 Bb      C          F 
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you?re drinkin? 
                    Dm                         Bb             Dm 
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave

You'll never leave Harlan alive
