Blackhawk

Emmylou Harris
 BbBbsusBb
 Well I work the double shift      
 EbEbsusEb
In a bookstore on St. Clair      
 BbBbsusBb
While he pushed the burning ingots        
 FFsusF
In Dofasco stinking air      
 BbBbsusBb
Where the truth bites and stings       
 EbEbsusEb
I remember just what we were       
 BbFBb
As the noon bell rings for Blackhawk and the white winged dove
 BbBbsusBb
 Hold on to your aching heart         
 EbEbsusEb
I'll wipe the liquor from your lips        
 BbBbsusuBb
A small town hero never dies        
 FFsusF
He fades a bit and then he slips      
 BbBbsusBb
Down into the blast furnance            
 EbEbsusEb
In the heat of the open hearth       
 Bb
And at the punch clock he remembers
 FBb
 Blackhawk and the white winged dove
 EbEbsusEb
I remember your leather boots      
 BbFFsusF
Pointing up into the sky we fell down to our knees    
 BbBbsusBb
Over there where the grass grew high       
 BbEbEbsusEb
 Love hunters in the night      
 BbBbsusuBb
Our faces turned into the wind         
 FFsusF
Blackhawk where are you now      
 Bb
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
 EbBb
We were Blackhawk and the white winged dove
 FBb
We were Blackhawk and the white winged dove

SOLO

 BbBbsusBb
 Do you still have the ring I gave you           
 EbEbsusEb
On the banks of Lake Bear         
 BbBbsusBb
Where I felt certain that I knew you      
 FFsusF
My cool and distant debonair     
 BbBbsusBb
Now we drink at Liberty Station     
 EbEbsusEb
Another cup of muscatel       
 BbBbsusBb
Wrapped in the strong arms of the Union      
 FBbBbsusBb
 Raisin' kids from raisin' hell        
 EbEbsusEb
I remember your leather boots      
 BbFFsusF
Pointing up into the sky we fell down to our knees    
 BbBbsusBb
Over there where the grass grew high       
 BbEbEbsusEb
 Love hunters in the night      
 BbBbsusBb
Our faces turned into the wind        
 FFsusF
Blackhawk where are you now      
 Bb
Blackhawk and the white winged dove
 EbBb
We were Blackhawk and the white winged dove
 FBb
We were Blackhawk and the white winged dove
 EbBb
We were Blackhawk and the white winged dove
 FBb
We were Blackhawk and the white winged dove
