Verse 1
Am 
Here in Northeast Ohio
G 
Back in 1803, James and Anne Heaton
Found the ore that was
Am 
lying in a yellow crate
They built a blast furnace
here along the shore
G 
And they made the cannonballs
That helped the Union win the war
Am 
Here in Youngstown,
G 
Am 
here in Youngstown
C 
G 
My sweet Jenny, I'm sinking down
Am 
Here, in Youngstown
Well, my daddy worked at furnaces
Kept him hotter than hell
G 
Come on from now,
work my way to Scarborough,
Am 
a job that'll suit the devil as well
Taco night, coke and limestone
fed my children and made my pay
G 
Any smokestacks reaching
like the arms of God
Am 
to a beautiful sky of soot and clay
G 
Here in Youngstown
Am 
Here in Youngstown
C 
G 
My sweet Jenny, I'm sinking down
Am 
Dear darling in Youngstown
C 
When my daddy came on
G 
the Ohio woods
When he came home from
Am 
World War II
G 
Now the yard's a scrap and rubble
He said them big boys did
Am 
what he couldn't do
C 
Oh, these mills,
G 
they build the tanks  and bombs
Am 
That torn this country's walls
G 
They sent our sons to Korea and Vietnam
And now we're wondering
Am 
what they were dying for
G 
Here in Youngstown,
C 
G 
Am 
here in Youngstown
My sweet Johnny,
C 
G 
I'm sinking down
Am 
Here, in Youngstown
From the Monongahela Valley
To the Mesabi Iron Range
G 
To the coal mines of the Pelagia
Am 
The story's always the same
700 tons of metal a day
No sir, you tell me there was change
G 
Once I made you rich enough
Am 
Rich enough to forget my name
G 
And Youngstown
Am 
And Youngstown
My sweet Jenny,
C 
G 
Am 
I'm sinking down
C 
G 
When I die, don't want a part of heaven
I would not do heaven's work well
Am 
G 
I pray the devil, comes and takes me
To stand in the fiery
Am 
G 
Am 
furnaces of  hell
C 
G 
Am 
So
