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