Blackhawk
Emmylou Harris
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
          D               Asus4
Love hunters in the night -- Our faces turned into the wind
           E7                  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

   D                A
We were Blackhawk and the white winged dove
    E               A
We were 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
