[Verse 1]
Well [Em]we're living
here in [A]Allentown
[D]And the[Am]y're closin'
all [D]the factories [G]down
Out in [Em]Bethlehem they're
[A]killing [Bm]time
[A]Fillin' out [Em]forms, s[D]tandin' in l[A]ine
Well our [Em]fathers fought
[A]the Second World [D]War
Spent their [Am]weekends on
the Jer[D]sey [G]Shore
Met our [Em]mothers at [A]the USO[Bm]
[A]Asked them [Em]to dance and
[D]danced with [A]them slow
Yeah we're livin' here in [D]Allentown

[Verse 2]
But the [F]restlessness was [G]handed [C]down
And it's [Am]gettin' very [D]hard to stay
[Em][G][C][D][C][D][G][C][D][G]
Well [Em]we're waitin' here in [A]Allentown[D]
For the [Am]Pennsylvania [D]we never [G]found
For [Em]the promises our [A]teachers [Bm]gave
[A]If we worked [Em]hard or [D]if we be[A]haved

[Verse 3]
So our [Em]graduations [A]hang on [D]the wall
But [A]they never really [D]helped us at [G]all
No they [Em]never taught us [A]what was [Bm]real
[A]Iron [Em]and coal [D]and chromium [A]steel
Well we're [Em]waitin' here in [A]Allentown[D]

[Verse 4]
But they've [F]taken all the
[G]Coal from the [C]ground
And the [Am]union people [D]crawled
away
[Em][G][C][D]

[Verse 5]
[C][D]
Well he's [G]a p[C]ret[D]ty [F]good shot
To get at least as far as [Bb]their old man got
[F]But somethin' happened on the
Way to that place
They threw [G]an American [C]flag in our

[Interlude 1]
face
[C][D][G][C][D][G][C][D][G]

[Verse 6]
Well we're [Em]livin' here in [A]Allentown[D]
