Intro

G Homestead Pennsylvania, the D home of the U.S. G Steel

G And the men down at the Homestead Works

Are D sharing one last G meal

C Sauerkraut and kilb G assa, C a dozen beers or G more

C A hundred years of Bm pouring slab,

They’re Am closing down the D door

And this mill won’t run no G more. Em

There’s silence in the valley, there’s silence in the streeets

There’s silence every night here upon these cold white sheets

Were my wife stares out the window with a long and lonely stare

She says “you kill yourself for 30 years but no one seems to care”

You made their C railroads rails and G bridges, you C ran their driving G wheels

And the C towers of the G Empire State are D lined with Homestead G Steel

The C Monongahela G valley no C longer hears the G roar

There is C cottonwood and Bm suemacway Am inside the slab mill D door

And this mill won’t run no G more. Em
