[Verse]
Dm
Here in northeast Ohio, back in 1803
Cadd9                             
James and Dan Heaton found the ore
                        Dm
 that was lining Yellow Creek.
Dm
They built a blast furnace here 
along the shore,
Cadd9                             
And they made the cannonballs that
                          Dm
 helped the Union win the war.

[Chorus]

My sweet Jenny I'm sinkin' down
                Dm
Here darlin' in Youngstown

[Verse]
Dm
Well my daddy worked the furnaces, 
kept 'em hotter than hell
       Cadd9
I come home from 'Nam, worked my way
 to scarfer,
Cadd9                           Dm
A job that'd suit the devil as well.
Dm
Taconite coke and limestone fed my 
children and made my pay
       Cadd9
Them smokestacks reachin' like the 
arms of God
                        Dm
Into a beautiful sky of soot and 
clay

Two.
                              Cadd9
Now the yard's just scrap and rubble
He said "Them big boys did what 
       Dm
Hitler couldn't do."
      F                    C
These mills they built the tanks and
 bombs
                        Dm
That won this country's wars.
   Cadd9
We sent our sons to Korea and 
Vietnam.
Now we're wondering what they were 
Dm
dying for.

Dm
From the Monongahela Valley to the 
Mesabi iron range
       Cadd9                       
To the coal mines of Appalachia, 
                     Dm
the story's always the same.
Dm
Seven hundred tons of metal a day, 
now sir, you tell me the world's 
changed.
Cadd9                             
Once I made you rich enough, rich 
                    Dm
enough to forget my name.

When I die I don't want no part of 
C
heaven
                             Dm
I would not do heaven's work well
           Cadd9
I pray the devil comes and takes me 
to stand
                  Dm
In the fiery furnaces of hell.
