[Verse 1]
C Am
We sat on the Bulb rocks
G F
With plum wine and we watched
C Am
The fog roll and swallow the
G F
bridge on the bay
C Am
I thought, “I could live here,”
G F
But I’m still in high gear
C Am
And sweating and freezing three
G C
thousand away
[Chorus 1]
C Am
O Pennsyltucky!
G F
Your three mile islands
F C
The coal fires buckle the
D7 G
miners’ highways
C Am
I love just to leave you
G F
But it’s good to see you
F C
And old Filthadelph
G C
Hostile City, PA
F C G
[Verse 2]
C Am
Where we all come from
G F
Most died of the Black Lung
C Am
Another, a browbeater,
G F
boxer, and saint
C Am
When he finally got caught,
G F
The cops made a few calls
C Am
They opened his cell --
G C
and he walked away
[Chorus 2]
C Am
O Pennsyltucky!
G F
Your three mile islands
F C
The coal fires buckle the
D7 G
miners’ highways
C Am
I love just to leave you
G F
But it’s good to see you
F C
And old Filthadelph
G C
Hostile City, PA
F C
And old Filthadelph
G D7 E7 F
Hostile City, PA---eh---eh
[Bridge]
F Dm
Wake me when Steel City’s
C Am
roadwork signs shine in my
G N.C.
face -- Whew, now I’m safe
[Solo over Chorus]
[Verse 3]
C Am
Was that a peepshow
G F
With drive-thru windows?
C Am
The gun show’s got carousels
G F
and funnel cakes
C Am
It says “Church” in neon
G F
And asks me what’s beyond
C Am
If I had to guess, I’d say
G C
more of the same
[Chorus 3]
C Am
O Pennsyltucky!
G F
Your three mile islands
F C
The coal fires buckle the
D7 G
miners’ highways
C Am
I love just to leave you
G F
But it’s good to see you
F C
And old Filthadelph
G C
Hostile City, PA
C Am
O Pennsyltucky!
G C
-- no lyrics --
F C
How your coal fires rumble
D7 G
-- no lyrics --
C Am
I love just to leave you
G F
But it’s good to see you
F C
And old Filthadelph
G C
Hostile City, PA
F C
And old Filthadelph
G C
Hostile City, PA
