Well we're living here in Allentown
                C               D       G
And they're closing all the factories down
        Em                      A       D
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
  A           Em        A       D
Filling out forms - Standing in line
             G                  Em              D
Well our fathers fought the Second World War
                C                   D   G
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
             Em         A   D
Met our mothers in the USO
    A           D               A               D
Asked them to dance, Danced with them slow
        G           Em          D
And we're living here in Allentown

        F               G               C
But the restlessness was handed down

And it's getting very hard to stay

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

        G           Em          D
And we're waiting here in Allentown

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

Every child had a pretty good shot
F               G               A#
To get at least as far as their old man got
F               G               A#
But something happened on the way to that

Place
F               G               A#
They threw an American flag in our face

Well I'm living here in Allentown
                C               D       G
And it's hard to keep a good man down
        Em              C       G       D  Em  D
But I won't be getting up today   -  ay  -  ay
