Intro
C# D# G# 3x
G# Fm D#
Well we're living here in Allentown
C# D# G#
And they're closing all the factories down
Fm A# D#
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
A# Fm A# D#
Filling out forms - Standing in line
G# Fm D#
Well our fathers fought the Second World War
C# D# G#
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Fm A# D#
Met our mothers in the USO
A# D# A# D#
Asked them to dance, Danced with them slow
G# Fm D#
And we're living here in Allentown
F# G# C#
But the restlessness was handed down
Fm C# G# D# Fm D#
And it's getting very hard to stay
C# D# G# – C# D# G#
G# Fm D#
Well we're waiting here in Allentown
C# D# G#
For the Pennsylvania we never found
Fm A# D#
For the promises our teachers gave
A# Fm A# D#
If we worked hard , If we behaved
G# Fm D#
So the graduations hang on the wall
C# D# G#
But they never really helped us at all
Fm A# D#
No they never taught us what was real
A# D# A# D#
Iron and coke - And chromium steel
G# Fm D#
And we're waiting here in Allentown
F# G# C#
But they've taken all the coal from the ground
Fm C# G# D# Fm D#
And the union people crawled away
C# D# G#
F# G# B
Every child had a pretty good shot
F# G# B
To get at least as far as their old man got
F# G# B
But something happened on the way to that
Place
F# G# B
They threw an American flag in our face
C# D# G#
G# Fm D#
Well I'm living here in Allentown
C# D# G#
And it's hard to keep a good man down
Fm C# G# D# Fm D#
But I won't be getting up today - ay - ay
C# D# G#
[SOLO] F# G# B (4x)
Fm C# G# D# Fm D#
And it's getting very hard to stay
C# D# G#
And we're living here in Allentown
The D# Chord is often lifted and dropped on the F string.
The F-G-B part is played by sliding the F# up the bridge.
