 You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive - Brad Paisley
 Album: Part II
 Written by: Darrell Scott
 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 itās there I read on a hillside gravestone
          Bb          A7      Dm
 You will never leave Harlan alive
 
 
 Verse 2:
 Well my granddadās dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
 And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
 Said, wonāt you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
 Or weāll never leave Harlan alive
 
 
 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 youāre drinkinā
                    Dm                   Bb          Dm
 And you spend your life just thinkinā of how to get away
 
 
 Verse 3:
 No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
 ĪTil a man from the Northeast arrived
 Waving hundred dollar bills said, Iāll 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 weād never leave Harlan alive
 
 Instrumental Break: (same chords as verse)
 
 Verse 5:
 But the times they got hard and tobacco wasnāt selling
 And ole granddad knew what heād 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 youāre drinkinā
                    Dm                         Bb             Dm
 And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
 
 
 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 itās there I read on a hillside gravestone
        Dm (one strum)
 You'll never leave Harlan alive
