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  Bbsus  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  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 
 
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

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
