The Last Hawk

[Intro] C

  C                           G
I hadn't seen the place since '68
        F                   C     
When we all got high and we rolled
      G
 that tape
        C                      G
We were holed up waiting for a call 
from the man
        F                         
Who had crashed his bike and gave 
C            G
birth to the band

F                        G
I frowned and bend in my special way
        C                          
Told my daddy I was gonna teach 
  Am
them boys to play
       F
'Cause sometimes you know what you 
know
       G
You're never gonna learn if you 
can't let go

        C                     
I'm the last hawk, flying over 
 G
Woodstock
           Am        F         G 
This is my last stop 'fore I'm on
    C
 my way

     C                          
They say if you've never been to 
 G
Saugerties
            F                   
Then you've never heard the wind 
         C           G
whisper through the trees
C                                 
Never known work till you've 
  G
worked holes in your knees
      F                            
And I betcha you've never heard any
 C          G
 songs like these

     C                            
They dragged our name through the 
G
mud out there

   F                        C     
It didn't feel right and it didn't
      G
 feel fair
            C                    
'Cause that loud rock n' roll was 
     G
too much to bear
        F                          
For the soft-hearted poets down in 
C       G
Harvard Square

F              G
Lee got tired, spit and swear
     C                            
Went floating down the river to a 
Am
rig somewhere
       F
'Cause sometimes you know what you 
know
       G
You're never gonna learn if you 
can't let go

        C                     
I'm the last hawk, flying over 
 G
Woodstock
              Am        F         
I can see the tree tops, praying 
       G
for the rain
           C                       
This is my last stop, gonna take a 
G
long walk
                 Am        F      
Before I take my boots off, I'll 
      G         C
see ya round the way

C               G
This may be the last I'll see
       F                       
Of the rotten old house down in 
 C     G
Saugerties
C                G
I was here and I made a mighty stand
    F                 C         
But I may never stand right there 
   G
again

C                    G
Play a sweet song on these old keys
    F                C        G
And hope y'all might remember me
       C                G
'Cause all that time is here and 
gone
F                       C        G
Won't be no one left to carry it on

        F             G
From my piano bench I saw it all
         C                     
From the great ascension to the 
 Am
mighty fall
          F                   G
How could anyone know what we sang 
that day
      C                Am
Would tear your heart apart this way

       F                  G
All my brothers they have flown away
      C                            
But I still got something left that
 Am
 I wanna say
          F
It's that sometimes you know what 
you know
       G
You'll never be free if you can't 
let go

        C                     
I'm the last hawk, flying over 
 G
Woodstock
              Am        F         
I can see the tree tops, praying 
       G
for the rain
           C                       
This is my last stop, gonna take a 
G
long walk
                 Am        F      
Before I take my boots off, I'll 
      G         C
see ya round the way
