[Bb]Well I work the double shif[Bbsus]t [Bb]
In a bookstore on St. [Eb]Clai[Ebsus]r[Eb]
While he pushed the burning in[Bb]gots[Bbsus] [Bb]
In Dofasco stinking [F]air[Fsus] [F]
Where the truth bites and [Bb]stings[Bbsus] [Bb]
I remember just what we [Eb]were[Ebsus] [Eb]
As the noon bell [Bb]rings for [F]Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
[Bb]Hold on to your aching heart[Bbsus] [Bb]
I'll wipe the liquor from your [Eb]lips[Ebsus] [Eb]
A small town hero never [Bb]dies[Bbsusu] [Bb]
He fades a bit and then he [F]slips[Fsus] [F]
Down into the [Bb]blast furnance[Bbsus] [Bb]
In the heat of the open [Eb]hearth[Ebsus] [Eb]
And at the punch clock he [Bb]remembers
[F]Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
I remember your leather [Eb]boot[Ebsus]s[Eb]
Pointing up into the [Bb]sky we fell down to our [F]kne[Fsus]es[F]
Over there where the grass grew [Bb]high[Bbsus] [Bb]
[Bb]Love hunters in the [Eb]nigh[Ebsus]t[Eb]
Our faces turned into the w[Bb]ind[Bbsusu] [Bb]
Blackhawk where are you [F]now[Fsus] [F]
Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
We were [Eb]Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
We were [F]Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
SOLO
[Bb]Do you still have the ring I gave you[Bbsus] [Bb]
On the banks of Lake [Eb]Bear[Ebsus] [Eb]
Where I felt certain that I [Bb]knew yo[Bbsus]u[Bb]
My cool and distant deb[F]onai[Fsus]r[F]
Now we drink at Liberty [Bb]Stati[Bbsus]on[Bb]
Another cup of musc[Eb]atel[Ebsus] [Eb]
Wrapped in the strong arms of the [Bb]Unio[Bbsus]n [Bb]
[F]Raisin' kids from raisin' [Bb]hell[Bbsus] [Bb]
I remember your leather [Eb]boot[Ebsus]s[Eb]
Pointing up into the [Bb]sky we fell down to our [F]kne[Fsus]es[F]
Over there where the grass grew [Bb]high[Bbsus] [Bb]
[Bb]Love hunters in the [Eb]nigh[Ebsus]t[Eb]
Our faces turned into the w[Bb]ind[Bbsus] [Bb]
Blackhawk where are you [F]now[Fsus] [F]
Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
We were [Eb]Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
We were [F]Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
We were [Eb]Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
We were [F]Blackhawk and the white winged [Bb]dove
