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