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

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

We fell down to our knees -- Over there where the grass grew high
