INTRO: Am7 Am     Am7 Am
Well, the night is as thick as silence
          C      G      Am
You can't cut it with a knife
A man lies in the hospital
C        G       Am
Draining out his life
The trucks are on the back road
       C        G          Am
In the dark the headlights shine
'Cause there's one man dead
        C      G      Am
On that Harlan County line
Oh, anger, like poison
   C      G       Am
Is eating at your soul
Your thoughts are loud as gunfire
     C       G       Am
Your face as hard as coal
Bitterness, like buckshot
  C        G         Am
Explodes inside your mind
And there's one man dead
        C      G      Am      Am7 Am
On that Harlan County line
Oh, a miner's life is fragile
         C       G         Am
It could shatter just like ice
But those who bear the struggle
     C      G        Am
Have always paid the price
There's blood upon the contract
     C   G      Am
Like vinegar in wine
And there's one man dead
        C      G      Am      Am7 Am
On that Harlan County line
From the river bridge at Highsplint
       C         G        Am
To the Brookside railroad track
You can feel the long strake building
         C     G         Am
That can never be turned back
The dead go forward with us
    C      G      Am
Not one is left behind
'Cause there's one man dead
        C      G      Am
On that Harlan County line
Well, the night is as cold as iron
        C       G       Am
You can feel it in your bones
It settles like a shroud upon
    C        G        Am
The grave of Lawrence Jones
The graveyard shift is walking
         C           G      Am
From the bathhouse into the mine
And there's one man dead
        C      G      Am
On that Harlan County line
One man dead
        C      G      Am
On that Harlan County line
One miner dead
        C      G      Am
On that Harlan County line
