_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ Allentown!
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
There are mothers in [A] the U.S [Bm].O. _
[F#m] Ask them to [G] dance, [F#m] dance with us, [A] oh.
_ And [G] we're living here in Allentown.
_ [D] _ _ But the [F] restlessness was handed _ [C] down. _
And [Am] it's getting very hot.
_ [Em] _
Stay.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Stay. Stay.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G]
Oh.
_ Shh.
_ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Well, we're waiting here in _ _ [D] Allentown.
_ For [Am] the place where [G] we'll be never found.
_ _ For the promises of future [Bm] came.
_ [F#m] If we worked [G] hard, [F#m] if we [A] behaved. _
[G] So the graduation sang from the [D] wall.
_ But they [Am] never really helped us [G] at all.
_ No, they never told us what was [Bm] real.
[F#m] I heard a [G] coke, [F#m] then throw me a [A] steel.
_ _ And [Em] we're waiting here in [D] _
Allentown.
_ _ But [F] they're drinking all [G] the coke off the [C] ground. _ _
And [Am] the union people call them [Em] away.
_ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Stay. _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[F] _ Stay.
Every child had a pretty good shot.
_ To get at least as far [Gm] as their own man.
_ _ [F] _ Something happened on the way to that place. _
They threw an American [C] flag in our _ _ [G] face.
Yeah. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ Oh.
_ [G] Shh.
_ Well, [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm living here in [D] Allentown.
_ And it's [F] hard to keep [G] a good man _ [C] down. _
But [Am] I hope he gets a _ [Em] _
name.
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] A name.
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Hey.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [D] Oh.
_ [G] _ _
And it's [C] getting very hard to [Em] stay.
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[D] And we're [Am] living here in _ Allentown. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
