           SAWCHUK
           RON HYNES

INTRO:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

VESRE:
         A augmentedA
His father was Ukrainian
        D MajorD
He was born Canadian
  A augmentedA
1929 now boys
      D MajorD
Under Manitoba skies
A augmentedA     D MajorD     G+G
 Hit the ice at the age of 12
        D MajorD
The first of a thousand scars he`d had
G+G          A augmentedA
Lost a brother to a mystery pain
            G+G
So he brought home the bruises then

D MajorD          A augmentedA
And he never rode a train before
         D MajorD
Concious of the clothes he wore
             A augmentedA
A majorA hockey jacket and his brothers pants
            D MajorD
And ten dollars pressed in his hands
A augmentedA  D MajorD   G+G
 Omaha to Michigan
        D MajorD
Leave Winnipeg in the wind
G+G          A augmentedA
With the Red Wings on the losing end
             G+G
It was Terry who changed everything

CHORUS:
D MajorD         G+G        D MajorD
Oh the air is sta-le, the ice is slick
            A augmentedA             D MajorD
So you try to see the shot before it leaves the stick

      G+G      D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
      A augmentedA         D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that

      G+G      D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
      A augmentedA         D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that

G+G D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


VERSE:
          A augmentedA
Terry turned them all back
      D MajorD
Wave upon wave they`d attack
           A augmentedA
Foil the Rocket and frustrate Hull
            D MajorD
Take it on the chest or in the skull
A augmentedA     D MajorD       G+G
Shoot the Hawks and the Maple Leafs
          D MajorD
Leave the haves in disbelief
 G+G         A augmentedA
And send New York whimpering
           G+G    D MajorD
And break Boston`s heart again

      A augmentedA
Scar piles upon scar
          D MajorD
Like he was in his own World War
            A augmentedA
It would hurt just to look at him
             D MajorD
Like the gangster in the Howard Hawks film
 A augmentedA              G+G
And then the mask that would hide his face
         D MajorD
Machine gun in a violin case
G+G          A augmentedA
Take your best shot let it come
             G+G    D MajorD
`Cause his sweater reads number one


CHORUS:
 D MajorD         G+G
Until finally the puck feels like a brick
D MajorD           A augmentedA             D MajorD
So you try to see the shot before it leaves the stick

      G+G      D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
      A augmentedA         D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that

      G+G      D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
      A augmentedA         D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that


INSTRUMENTAL:
G+G D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD D
G+G D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


VERSE:
          A augmentedA
Five years and the Stanley Cup
             D MajorD
The crowd`s wild as they lift him up
            A augmentedA
But when you win they stand and cheer
          D MajorD
When you lose they hiss and jeer
            G+G
The home town crowd got no respect
              D MajorD
You give your all this is what you get
G+G         A augmentedA
So be careful of what you wish
              G+G     D MajorD
`Cause sudden death got a bitter kiss


CHORUS:
 D MajorD       G+G
And a hostile crowd cut you to the quick

D MajorD           A augmentedA             D MajorD
So you try to see the shot before it leaves the stick

      G+G      D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
      A augmentedA      D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that


INSTRUMENTAL:
G+G D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


VERSE:
           A augmentedA
The axe falls with a Boston trade
       D MajorD
The top of a down hill grade
      A augmentedA
Olympia in slow decline
           D MajorD
Or something darker biding time
        G+G
And he carried all that load
          D MajorD
He was the darkest horse they ever rode
G+G           A augmentedA
An ancient game with ancient laws
              G+G   D MajorD
He was the best that there ever was

 D MajorD         A augmentedA
And the rest was a bad dream
        D MajorD
Shffling from team to team
            A augmentedA
But he was done it was all in ruin
          D MajorD
Retired warrior at 41
           G+G
Ballet and murder of time and space
       D MajorD
400 stitches to his face
G+G          A augmentedA
About a week after his last game
          G+G      D MajorD
And Terry Sawchuks heart caves in


CHORUS:
 D MajorD             G+G         D MajorD
But he hears his brothers voice as he lays awake
        A augmentedA             D MajorD
Try to see the shot before it leaves the stick

      G+G      D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
      A augmentedA         D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that

      G+G      D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
      A augmentedA         D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that

      G+G      D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
      A augmentedA      D MajorD  G+G D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD D  G+G D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that
