Intro: A Asus4 A
A Well I work the double shift -- In
D a bookstore on St. Clair
A While he pushed the burning ingots
E -- In Dofasco stinking air
A Where the truth bites and stings --
D I remember just what we were
Asus4 As the noon bell rings for
E7 A Blackhawk and the white winged dove
A Hold on to your aching heart
D I'll wipe the liquor from your lips
A A small town hero never dies -- He
E7 fades a bit and then he slips
A Down into the blast furnace -- In
D the heat of the open hearth
Asus4 And at the punch clock he remembers
E7 A Blackhawk and the white winged dove
D I remember your leather boots --
A Pointing up into the sky
Continues after the ad
E7 We fell down to our knees -- Over
A there where the grass grew high
D Love hunters in the night -- Our
A faces turned into the wind
E Blackhawk where are you now
A -Blackhawk and the white winged dove
D We were Blackhawk and the white
A winged dove
E We were Blackhawk and the white
A winged dove
A D A E A
A Do you still have the ring I gave you
D On the banks of Lake Black Bear
A Where I felt certain that I knew you
E My cool and distant debonair
A Now we drink at Liberty Station
D Another cup of muscatel
A Wrapped in the strong arms of the Union
E7 A Raisin' kids from raisin' hell
D I remember your leather boots --
A Pointing up into the sky
E We fell down to our knees -- Over
A there where the grass grew high
D Love hunters in the night -- Our
Asus4 faces turned into the wind
E7 Blackhawk where are you now -
A Blackhawk and the white winged dove
D We were Blackhawk and the white
A winged dove
E We were Blackhawk and the white
A winged dove
D We were Blackhawk and the white
A winged dove
E We were Blackhawk and the white
A winged dove
D We were Blackhawk and the white
A winged dove
E We were Blackhawk and the white
A winged dove
