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