Youll Never Leave Harlan Alive

by Brad Paisley

Biography:

Brad Paisley (born October 28, 1972) is an American country music singer and songwriter from Glen Dale, West Virginia.

Brad Paisley has stated that his love of country music stems from his maternal grandfather, who gave Paisley his first guitar at age 8 and taught him how to play. At age 12, Paisley wrote his first song, and by 13 he was the opening act for country singers.

Paisley graduated from John Marshall High School in Glen Dale and enrolled at Belmont University (from 1993 to 1995).

Alternatives for this artist

[Am] In the deep, [C] dark hills of [G] eastern [D] Kentucky
That the [Am] place where I [C] trace my [F] bloodline
And it’s [F] there I [C] read on a [G] hillside [D] gravestone
You will [F] never leave [G] Harlan [Am] alive

Oh, my granddad’s [C] dad walked down [G] Katahrins [D] Mountain
And he [Am] asked Tillie [C] Helton to be his [F] bride
Said, won’t you [F] walk with me [C] out of the [G] mouth of this [D]
holler
Or we’ll [F] never leave [G] Harlan [Am] alive

Chorus
Where the sun comes [C] up about [F] ten in the [C] morning
And the sun goes [Am] down about [G] three in the [F] day
And you fill your [C] cup with whatever [F] bitter brew you’re [C] drinkin’
And you spend your [Am] life just thinkin’ of [G] how to get [F] away

[Am] No one ever [C] knew there was [G] coal in them [D] mountains
‘Til a [Am] man from the [C] Northeast [F] arrived
Waving [F] hundred dollar [C] bills said, I’ll [G] pay you for your [D]
minerals
But he [F] never left [G] Harlan [Am] alive

[Am] Granny sold out [C] cheap and they [G] moved out west of [D] Pineville
To a [Am] farm where big [C] Richland River [F] winds
I bet they [F] danced them a [C] jig, laughed and [G] sang a new [D] song
Who said we’d [F] never leave [G] Harlan [Am] alive

{Break-same as verse}

But the [Am] times they got [C] hard and tobacco [G] wasn’t [D] selling
And ole [Am] granddad knew what [C] he’d do to [F] survive
He went and [F] dug for Harlan [C] coal and sent the [G] money back to [D]
granny
But he [F] never left [G] Harlan [Am] alive

Where the sun comes [C] up about [F] ten in the [C] morning
And the sun goes [Am] down about [G] three in the [F] day
And you fill your [C] cup with whatever [F] bitter brew you’re [C] drinkin’
And you spend your [Am] life digging coal from the [G] bottom of your [F]
grave

Repeat Chorus
[Am] In the deep, [C] dark hills of [G] eastern [D] Kentucky
That the [Am] place where I [C] trace my [F] bloodline
And it’s [F] there I [C] read on a [G] hillside [D] gravestone
You will [F] never leave [G] Harlan [Am] alive
