[Verse 1]
D Bm
We sat on the Bulb rocks
A G
With plum wine and we watched
D Bm A G
The fog roll and swallow the bridge on the bay
D Bm
I thought, “I could live here,”
A G
But I’m still in high gear
D Bm A G
And sweating and freezing 3,000 away
[Chorus 1]
D Bm
O Pennsyltucky!
A D
Your three mile islands
G D E7 A
The coal fires buckle the miners’ highways
D Bm
I love just to leave you
A G
But it’s good to see you
G D
And old Filthadelph
A D
Hostile City, PA
G D A
[Verse 2]
D Bm
Where we all come from
A G
Most died of the Black Lung
D Bm A G
Another, a browbeater, boxer, and saint
D Bm
When he finally got caught,
A G
The cops made a few calls
D Bm
They opened his cell
A G
Never fought him again
[Chorus 2]
D Bm
O Pennsyltucky!
A D
Your three mile islands
G D E7 A
The coal fires buckle the miners’ highways
D Bm
I love just to leave you
A G
But it’s good to see you
G D
And old Filthadelph
A D
Hostile City, PA
G D
And old Filthadelph
A D
Hostile City, PA
(I can't get this part right for the life of me i know it ends in "A")
A
Wake me when Steel City’s roadwork signs Shine in my face
N.C.
Whew, now I’m safe
(i believe the solo is played over the chorus)
[Verse 3]
D Bm
Was that a peepshow
A G
With drive-thru windows?
D Bm A G
The gun show’s got carousels and funnel cakes
D Bm
It says “Church” in neon
A G
And asks me what’s beyond
D Bm A G
If I had to guess, I’d say more of the same
[Chorus 3]
D Bm
O Pennsyltucky!
A D
Your three mile islands
G D E7 A
The coal fires buckle the miners’ highways
D Bm
I love just to leave you
A G
But it’s good to see you
G D
And old Filthadelph
A D
Hostile City, PA
G D
And old Filthadelph
A D
Hostile City, PA
