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