VESRE:
A
His father was Ukrainian
D
He was born Canadian
A
1929 now boys
D
Under Manitoba skies
A D G
Hit the ice at the age of 12
D
The first of a thousand scars he`d had
G A
Lost a brother to a mystery pain
G
So he brought home the bruises then
D A
And he never rode a train before
D
Concious of the clothes he wore
A
A hockey jacket and his brothers pants
D
And ten dollars pressed in his hands
A D G
Omaha to Michigan
D
Leave Winnipeg in the wind
G A
With the Red Wings on the losing end
G
It was Terry who changed everything
CHORUS:
D G D
Oh the air is sta-le, the ice is slick
A D
So you try to see the shot before it leaves the stick
G D
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
A D
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that
G D
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
A D
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that
G D G A D A D
VERSE:
A
Terry turned them all back
D
Wave upon wave they`d attack
A
Foil the Rocket and frustrate Hull
D
Take it on the chest or in the skull
A D G
Shoot the Hawks and the Maple Leafs
D
Leave the haves in disbelief
G A
And send New York whimpering
G D
And break Boston`s heart again
A
Scar piles upon scar
D
Like he was in his own World War
A
It would hurt just to look at him
D
Like the gangster in the Howard Hawks film
A G
And then the mask that would hide his face
D
Machine gun in a violin case
G A
Take your best shot let it come
G D
`Cause his sweater reads number one
CHORUS:
D G
Until finally the puck feels like a brick
D A D
So you try to see the shot before it leaves the stick
G D
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
A D
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that
G D
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
A D
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that
INSTRUMENTAL:
G D G A D D
G D G A D A D
VERSE:
A
Five years and the Stanley Cup
D
The crowd`s wild as they lift him up
A
But when you win they stand and cheer
D
When you lose they hiss and jeer
G
The home town crowd got no respect
D
You give your all this is what you get
G A
So be careful of what you wish
G D
`Cause sudden death got a bitter kiss
CHORUS:
D G
And a hostile crowd cut you to the quick
D A D
So you try to see the shot before it leaves the stick
G D
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
A D
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that
INSTRUMENTAL:
G D G A D A D
VERSE:
A
The axe falls with a Boston trade
D
The top of a down hill grade
A
Olympia in slow decline
D
Or something darker biding time
G
And he carried all that load
D
He was the darkest horse they ever rode
G A
An ancient game with ancient laws
G D
He was the best that there ever was
D A
And the rest was a bad dream
D
Shffling from team to team
A
But he was done it was all in ruin
D
Retired warrior at 41
G
Ballet and murder of time and space
D
400 stitches to his face
G A
About a week after his last game
G D
And Terry Sawchuks heart caves in
CHORUS:
D G D
But he hears his brothers voice as he lays awake
A D
Try to see the shot before it leaves the stick
G D
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
A D
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that
G D
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
A D
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that
G D
Only Terry Sawchuk done that
A D G D G A D D G D G A D A D
Only Terry Sawchuk ever done that Last updated:
