Blackhawk Chords & Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

Capo 1

Intro: [A] [Asus4] [A]

[A]Well I work the double shift -- In a bookstore on St[D] . Clair
While he pushed the burning [A]ingots -- In Dofasco stink[E]ing air
Where the truth bit[A]es and stings -- I remember just wha[D]t we were
As the noon bel[Asus4]l rings for
Blackhawk and t[E7]he white winged[A] dove

[A]Hold on to your aching heart
I'll wipe the liquor from y[D]our lips
A small town hero never[A] dies -- He fades a bit and then he [E7]slips
Down into the blast[A] furnace -- In the heat of the o[D]pen hearth
And at the punch cl[Asus4]ock he remembers
Blackhawk and [E7]the white winged d[A]ove

I remember your leather [D]boots -- Pointing up into the[A] sky
We fell down to our[E7] knees -- Over there where the grass g[A]rew high
Love hunters in the [D]night -- Our faces turned into the[A] wind
Blackhawk where are yo[E]u now -Blackhawk and the white winged[A] dove
We w[D]ere Blackhawk and the white winged [A]dove
We were[E] Blackhawk and the white winged do[A]ve

[A] [D] [A] [E] [A]

[A]Do you still have the ring I gave you
On the banks of Lake B[D]lack Bear
Where I felt certain that[A] I knew you
My cool and distant d[E]ebonair
Now we drink at Lib[A]erty Station
Another cup of m[D]uscatel
Wrapped in the stron[A]g arms of the Union
Raisin' k[E7]ids from raisin'[A] hell

I remember your leather [D]boots -- Pointing up into the [A]sky
We fell down to our[E] knees -- Over there where the grass g[A]rew high
Love hunters in the [D]night -- Our faces turned into[Asus4] the wind
Blackhawk where are yo[E7]u now - Blackhawk and the white winge[A]d dove
We w[D]ere Blackhawk and the white winged[A] dove
We were[E] Blackhawk and the white winged d[A]ove

We we[D]re Blackhawk and the white winged[A] dove
We were[E] Blackhawk and the white winged[A] dove
We w[D]ere Blackhawk and the white winged[A] dove
We were[E] Blackhawk and the white winged[A] dove
