Capo 1
Intro: A Asus4 A
A D
Well I work the double shift -- In a bookstore on St. Clair
A E
While he pushed the burning ingots -- In Dofasco stinking air
A D
Where the truth bites and stings -- 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 E7
A small town hero never dies -- He fades a bit and then he slips
A D
Down into the blast furnace -- In the heat of the open hearth
Asus4
And at the punch clock he remembers
E7 A
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
D A
I remember your leather boots -- Pointing up into the sky
E7 A
We fell down to our knees -- Over there where the grass grew high
D A
Love hunters in the night -- Our faces turned into the wind
E A
Blackhawk where are you now -Blackhawk and the white winged dove
D A
We were Blackhawk and the white winged dove
E A
We were Blackhawk and the white 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 A
I remember your leather boots -- Pointing up into the sky
E A
We fell down to our knees -- Over there where the grass grew high

Love hunters in the night -- Our faces turned into the wind
