Well I [Asus4] work the double | [A] shift... |
| [A] ...In a bookstore on St | [D] Clair... |
| [D] ...While he pushed the burning | [A] ingots... |
| [A] ...In Dofasco stinking | [E7] air... |
| [E7] ...Where the truth bites and | [A] stings... |
| [A] ...I remember just what we | [D] were... |
| [D] ...As the noon bell | [A] rings for |
| [E7] ...Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove... | [A] ...

Hold on to your aching | [A] heart...   |
| [A] ...I'll wipe the liquor from your | [D] lips... |
| [D] ...A small town hero never | [A] dies... |
| [A] ...He fades a bit and then | [E7] he slips |                             
| [E7] ...Down into the | [A] blast furnace... |
| [A] ...In the heat of the open | [D] hearth... |                     
| [D] ...And at the punch clock he re-   | [A] members |
| [E7] ...Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove... | [A] ...

Chorus
I remember your leather | [D] boots... |
| [D] ...Pointing up into the | [A] sky... |                     
| [A] ...We fell down to our | [E7] knees... |
| [E7] ...Over there where the grass | [A] grew high...   |             
| [A] ...Love hunters in the | [D] night... |
| [D] ...Our faces turned into the | [A] wind...   |                         
| [A] ...Blackhawk where are you | [E7] now... |
| [E7] ...Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove,                        
We were | [D] Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove,
We were | [E7] Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove... | [A] ... |

Instrumental

| [A]   | [E7]   | [A]   | [A]   |
  
Do you still have the ring I | [A] gave you... |
| [A] ...On the banks of Lake | [D] Black Bear... |
| [D] ...Where I felt certain that I | [A] knew you... |
| [A] ...My cool and distant | [E7] debonair... |
| [E7] ...Now we drink at Liberty | [A] Station... |
| [A] ...Another cup of musca-   | [D] tel... |
| [D] ...Wrapped in the strong arms of the | [A] Union... |
| [E7] ...Raisin' kids from raisin' | [A] hell...

Chorus
I remember your leather | [D] boots... |
| [D] ...Pointing up into the | [A] sky...   |                   
| [A] ...We fell down to our | [E7] knees... |
| [E7] ...Over there where the grass | [A] grew high... |             
| [A] ...Love hunters in the | [D] night... |
| [D] ...Our faces turned into the | [A] wind... |                         
| [A] ...Blackhawk where are you | [E7] now... |
| [E7] ...Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove,

We were | [D] Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove,
We were | [E7] Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove,
We were | [D] Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove,
We were | [E7] Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove,
We were | [D] Blackhawk and the white winged | [A] dove,
We were | [E7!] Blackhawk and the white winged | [A!] dove
