    Verse 1
    In 
    the 
    deep 
    dark 
    hills 
    of 
    eastern 
    Kentucky 

    That's 
    the 
    place 
    where 
    traced 
    my 
    bloodline 

    And 
    it's 
    there 
    read 
    on 
    hillside 
    gravestone 

    "You'll 
    never 
    leave 
    Harlan 
    a
    live" 

    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    my 
    grandfather's 
    dad 

    crossed 
    the 
    Cumberland 
    Mountains 

    Where 
    he 
    took 
    pretty 
    girl 
    to 
    be 
    his 
    bride 

    Said, 
    "Won't 
    you 
    walk 
    with 
    me, 

    out 
    of 
    the 
    mouth 
    of 
    this 
    holler, 

    or 
    we'll 
    never 
    leave 
    Harlan 
    a
    live" 

    Chorus 1
    Where 
    the 
    sun 
    comes 
    up 

    about 
    ten 
    in 
    the 
    mornin' 

    And 
    the 
    sun 
    goes 
    down 

    about 
    three 
    in 
    the 
    day 

    And 
    you 
    fill 
    your 
    cup 

    with 
    whatever 
    bitter 
    brew 
    you're 
    drinkin' 

    And 
    you 
    spend 
    your 
    life 

    just 
    thinkin' 
    of 
    how 
    to 
    get 
    a
    way 

    Verse 3
    No 
    one 
    ever 
    knew 

    there 
    was 
    coal 
    in 
    them 
    mountains 

    Till 
    man 
    from 
    the 
    northeast 
    ar
    rived 

    Wavin' 
    hundred 
    dollar 
    bills, 

    said, 
    "I'll 
    pay 
    you 
    for 
    your 
    minerals" 

    But 
    he 
    never 
    left 
    Harlan 
    a
    live 

    Verse 4
    Grandma 
    sold 
    out 
    cheap 

    and 
    they 
    moved 
    out 
    west 
    of 
    Pineville 

    To 
    farm 
    where 
    Big 
    Richland 
    River 
    winds 

    And 
    bet 
    they 
    danced 
    them 
    jig 

    And 
    they 
    laughed 
    and 
    sang 
    new 
    song 

    "Who 
    said 
    we'd 
    never 
    leave 
    Harlan 
    a
    live" 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 5
    But 
    the 
    times 
    they 
    got 
    hard 

    and 
    to
    bacco 
    wasn't 
    sellin' 

    And 
    old 
    granddad 
    knew 
    what 
    he'd 
    do 

    to 
    sur
    vive 

    He 
    went 
    and 
    dug 
    for 
    Harlan 
    coal 

    And 
    sent 
    the 
    money 
    back 
    to 
    grandma 

    But 
    he 
    never 
    left 
    Harlan 
    a
    live 

    Chorus 2
    Where 
    the 
    sun 
    comes 
    up 

    about 
    ten 
    in 
    the 
    mornin' 

    And 
    the 
    sun 
    goes 
    down 

    about 
    three 
    in 
    the 
    day 

    And 
    you 
    fill 
    your 
    cup 

    with 
    whatever 
    bitter 
    brew 
    you're 
    drinkin' 

    And 
    you 
    spend 
    your 
    life 
    diggin' 
    coal 

    from 
    the 
    bottom 
    of 
    your 
    grave

    never 
    leave 
    Harlan

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
