Well our fathers fought the Second World War

Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore

Met our mothers in the USO

Asked them to dance, danced with them slow

And we're living here in Allentown

/ " / " / " / " / Em7 A D - /

But the restlessness was handed down

And it's getting very hard to stay

   / F G C - / Am7 D Em G C D C - Em - C - Em - C - GC G /

Well we're waiting here in Allentown

For the Pennsylvania we never found

For the promises our teachers gave

If we worked hard, if we behaved

So the graduations hang on the wall

But they never really helped us at all

No they never taught us what was real

Iron and coke, chromium steel

And we're waiting here in Allentown

But they've taken all the coal from the ground

And the union people crawled away

Every child has a pretty good shot

To get at least as far as their old man got

But something happened on the way to that place

They threw an American flag in our face

/ F - G F / - - G Bb / F - G F / - - G C - Em - C - Em - C - GC G /

Well I'm living here in Allentown

And it's hard to keep a good man down

But I won't be getting up today

/ Em7 A D - / F G C - / Am7 D Em G C D C - Em - C - Em - /

And it's getting very hard to stay

And we're living here in Allentown
