Billy Joel
C D G 3x
[Em]Well we're [G]living here in [Em]Allen[G]town
And they're [C]closing all the [D]factories [G]down
Out in [Em]Bethlehem they're [A]killing [D]time
[F]Filling out [Em]forms
[A]Standing in [D]line.
Well our [G]fathers fought the [Em]Second World [D]War
Spent their [C]weekends on the [D]Jersey [G]Shore
Met our [Em]mothers at the [A]US[D]O[A]
[A]Asked them to [D]dance
[A]Danced with them [D]slow
And we're [G]living here in [Em]Allen[D]town.
But the [F]restlessness was [G]handed [C]down
And it's [Em]getting very [C]hard to [G]staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[D]aaaaaaaaay[Em] [D]
[C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G]
Well we're [G]waiting here in [Em]Allen[D]town
For the [C]Pennsylvania we [D]never [G]found
For the [Em]promises our [A]teachers [D]gave
[A]If we worked [Em]hard
[A]If we be[D]haved.
[G]So the graduations [Em]hang on the wall
But they [C]never really [D]helped us at [G]all
No they [Em]never taught us [A]what was [D]real
[A]Iron or [D]coke,
[A]Chromium [D]steel.
And we're [G]waiting here in [Em]Allen[D]town.
But they've [F]taken all the [G]coal from the [C]ground
And the [Em]union people [C]crawled a[G]waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[D]ay[Em] [D]
[C] [D] [G]
[F]Every child had a [G]pretty good [Bb]shot
[F]To get at least as [G]far as their old man [Bb]got.
[F]If something happened on the [G]way to that [Bb]place
[F]They threw an American flag [G]in our [Bb]face, oh oh oh.
[C] [D] [G]
[G]Well I'm living here in [Em]Allen[D]town
[C]And it's hard to keep a [D]good man [G]down.
But I [Em]won't be getting up to[C]daaaaaaa[G]aaaaaaaaaaayyyyy[D]yyy[Em] [D]
[C] [D] [G]
GUITAR SOLO
And it's [Em]getting very [C]hard to [G]staaaaaaaaaaaa[D]aay[Em].[D]
And we're [C]living here in [D]Allen[G]town.
