Blackhawk Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
(Daniel Lanois) Well I work the double [G]shift
In a bookstore on [C]St. Clair
While he pushed the burning [G]ingots
In Dofasco stink[D]ing air
Where the truth bites an
[G]d stings
I remember just what we [C]were
As the noon bell [G]rings for
[D]Blackhawk and the white winged dove
[G]

[Verse 2]
Hold on to your aching heart
I'll wipe the liquor from your [C]lips
A small town hero never [G]dies
He fades a bit and then [D]he slips
Down into the [G]blast furnace
In the heat of the open [C]hearth
And at the punch clock he re[G]members
[D]Blackhawk and the white
winged dove
[G]

[Verse 3]
I remember your [C]leather boots
Pointing up into [G]the sky
We fell down to our [D]knees
Over there where the grass [G]grew high
Love hunters in the [C]night
Our faces turned into the [G]wind
Blackhawk where are [D]you know
Blackhawk and the white winged [G]dove
We [C]were Blackhawk where are [G]you know
We [D]were Blackhawk where

[Interlude 1]
are you know
[G][C][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
Do you still have the ring I [G]gave you
On the banks of Lake [C]Bear
Where I felt certain that I [G]knew you
My cool and distant de[D]bonair
Now we drink at Liberty [G]Station
Another cup of mus[C]catel
Wrapped in the strong arms
of the [G]Union[D]
Raisin' kids from raisin' [G]hell
