[Verse 1]
I was [Am]born and [C]raised on steel [F]river
[E]I see it all like it was yesterday
[Dm]The ships and [Am]bridges [C]they
[F]were all delivered
[E]From Sydney [Am]harbor
to the [C]Sisco bay

[Verse 2]
And [F]I met [E]my love
down on steel [Dm]river
We served our dreams [F]and [E]spent
[Am]our chil[C]dhood days[F][E]
[Am]In r[C]ainy streets we'[F]d kiss
[E]away [Am]the shivers
[C]And hide [F]from fea[E]r inside
the latest craze

[Verse 3]
Dancing [F#dim]to Motown
Making love with Carole King
[B]record playing
And oh how I [E]loved you
Say goodbye [Am]steel [C]river

[Verse 4]
[Am]Ten thousand bombers hit the
[C]ste[F]el [E]river
[Am]And [C]many[F] d[E]ied[Am][C]
to keep her running [F]free
And she survived [E]but now she's
[Am]gone forever
Her [C]burning heart [F]is [E]just [Am]a memory
[C]And I ran away from life

[Verse 5]
[F]on [E]steel river
Luck [Dm]or not I gladly took the br[E]eak
The odds [Am]were low [C]the
[F]chances nearly [E]zero[F#dim]
A chance it was [B]I had to take
[E]Say goodbye steel riv[Am]er

[Verse 6]
They say [C]that salmon[F][E]
[Am]swim in [C]ste[F]el [E]river
[Am]They[C] say i[F]t'[E]s[Am][C][F][E]

[Am][C][F][E][Am][C][F][E]
[Am]good to [C]see them back again
[F]I kno[E]w it hurts to [Dm]see w[E]hat[Am]
really happened
I know one sal[C]mon ain't
no good [F]to them
They were born and [E]raised

[Verse 7]
[F#dim]
to serve their steel mother
It was they taught and all
[B]they ever knew
[E]And they believed that she
would keep their chil[C]dren
[Am]Even [C]tho[F]ugh[E] not a single
word was true
[Am]Say goodbye [C]ste[F]el[E]
