Here in Harlan County, the choices are few
To keep food on [F#m] the table and [E] the babies [A] in shoe
You can grow marijuana way back in the pine
Or work for [F#m] the man down [A] in the mine
You never forget your [D] first day in [A] the hole
There's a pit [F#m] in your stomach and [E] your mouth's [A] full of coal
[E] [A] There's no turning back [D] once you make up [A] your mind
As the cart [F#m] rattles on [E] down in [A] the [D]
mine
Way down in [E] the mine
Your tears turn [A] to mud
And you can't catch [D] your breath
For the dust in [A] your lungs
Loden Hill [B] Billy [E]

Where the sun [F#m] never
[D] shines
Twelve hours [A] a day
[Bm] [A] Digging your grave
[E] Way down in [A] the mine
[D]
[E] [A] Well the old timers talk
But you just don't believe
[E] It can all [F#m] go to hell [E] at two [A] thousand feet
[A] Life sways in the bounds of nature and time
And fate has [F#m] no mercy [E] down in [D] the mine

The
[Am] [A]
news spread like fire and burned through those hills
[E] Hopes were [F#m] held high [E] but five men [A] got killed
On the wings of canaries [D] their souls surely [A] fly
While their bones spend [F#m]
eternity [E] down in [D] the mine
Way down in [E] the mine
Your tears [A] turn to mud
And you can't [D] catch your breath
For the dust in [A] your lungs
Loden Hill Billy [E]
Gold
Where the sun [F#m] never [D] shines
Twelve hours [A] a day
[D] [A] Digging your grave
[E] Way down in the mine
So take a flask from your crib can
[D] And a pole of [A] moonshine
And say a prayer [F#m] for them boys
[E] Down in the [D] mine
