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