Chords

[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

[Bridge]
Em           G            D              Bm          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
