This song's about losing everything you have if you play by all the rules.
Here in Northeast Ohio, back in 1803,
[Gm] James and [Bb] Danny Heaton found the ore that was lying in [Cm] Yellow Creek.
They built a blast furnace there along the shore,
[Bb] And they made the cannonballs that helped the [Cm] Union win the war.
[Bb] Here in Youngstown, [Cm] here in Youngstown,
[Fm] My sweet [Eb] Jane and second [Bb] dog,
Here [Eb] down in [Cm] Youngstown,
Well, my daddy worked furnaces, he kept them hotter in here.
[Gm] I come home from Nam, work my way to [Bb] Scarborough,
Job a chute that [Cm] Devon's wind.
Tack-a-night coke and limestone fed my children, made my pay.
[Bb] Them smokestacks reaching like the arms of God,
And the beautiful [Cm] sky sooty and clay.
[Bb] Here in Youngstown, [Cm] here in Youngstown,
[D] My sweet [Eb] Jane and second [Bb] dog,
Here [Eb] down in [Cm] Youngstown,
Well, my daddy come on to [Bb] Ohio works when he come home from [Eb] World [Cm] War II.
Now the [Bb] yard's just scrap and rubble,
He says those big boys did [Ab] what [Cm] Hitler couldn't do.
[D] These [Eb] mills they built the [Bb] tanks and bombs that won this country's [Cm] wars.
We [Bb] gave our sons a career in Vietnam,
Now we're wondering [Cm] what they were dying for.
Here [Bb] in Youngstown, [Cm] here in Youngstown,
[Fm]
My [Eb] sweet Jane and I'm second [Bb] dog,
Here [Fm] down in [Cm] Youngstown.
From the Monongahela [C] Valley to the Musabi Iron Range,
[Bb] The coal mines of Appalachia, the store is always [Cm] the same.
Seven hundred tons of metal a day, and sir, you tell me the world's changed.
[Bb] Once I made you rich enough, rich enough [Cm] to forget my [C] name.
In [Bb] Youngstown, in [Cm]
Youngstown,
[Fm] My sweet [Eb] Jane and I'm second [Bb] dog,
Here [Cm] down in Youngstown.
Now when [Eb] I die, I don't want no [Bb] part of heaven,
I would [Eb] not do heaven's [Cm] work well.
I [Bb] pray the devil comes and takes me to stand in the fiery [Cm] furnaces of hell.
