And they're closing all the

Out in Bethlehem they're killing

time

Filling out forms - Standing in line
             G                  Em
Well our fathers fought the Second
              D
 World War

Spent their weekends on the Jersey

Met our mothers in the USO
    A           D               A
Asked them to dance, Danced with

For the Pennsylvania we never 
      G
found
        Em              A       D
For the promises our teachers gave
  A           Em        A       D
If we worked hard , If we behaved
     G                  Em        
So the graduations hang on the 
      D
wall
        C                   D      
But they never really helped us at 
G
all
             Em                 
No they never taught us what was 
A         D
real

Iron and coke - And chromium

But they've taken all the coal 
      C
from the ground
        Em              C       G
And the union people crawled away

Every child had a pretty good shot
F               G               
To get at least as far as their old

man got
F               G               
But something happened on the way to

 that

Place
F               G               
They threw an American flag in our
