Capo on 2nd

INTRO:

C majorC

VERSE:

 C majorC              G+G
I hadn't seen the place since '68
    FF          C majorC      G+G
When we all got high and we rolled that tape
    C majorC           G+G
We were holed up waiting for a call from the man
    FF             C majorC      G+G
Who had crashed his bike and gave birth to the band

FF            G+G
I frowned and bend in my special way
    C majorC              A minorAm
Told my daddy I was gonna teach them boys to play
    FF
'Cause sometimes you know what you know
    G+G
You're never gonna learn if you can't let go

CHORUS:

    C majorC           G+G
I'm the last hawk, flying over Woodstock
      A minorAm    C majorC     G+G   C majorC
This is my last stop 'fore I'm on my way

VERSE:

   C majorC              G+G
They say if you've never been to Saugerties
      FF              C majorC      G+G
Then you've never heard the wind whisper through the trees
C majorC                  G+G
Never known work till you've worked holes in your knees
   FF               C majorC     G+G
And I betcha you've never heard any songs like these

   C majorC              G+G
They dragged our name through the mud out there
  FF            C majorC      G+G
It didn't feel right and it didn't feel fair
      C majorC             G+G
'Cause that loud rock n' roll was too much to bear
    FF             C majorC    G+G
For the soft-hearted poets down in Harvard Square

FF       G+G
Lee got tired, spit and swear
   C majorC              A minorAm
Went floating down the river to a rig somewhere
    FF
'Cause sometimes you know what you know
    G+G
You're never gonna learn if you can't let go

CHORUS:

    C majorC           G+G
I'm the last hawk, flying over Woodstock
       A minorAm    C majorC    G+G
I can see the tree tops, praying for the rain
      C majorC            G+G
This is my last stop, gonna take a long walk
         A minorAm    C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Before I take my boots off, I'll see ya round the way

VERSE:

C majorC        G+G
This may be the last I'll see
    FF            C majorC   G+G
Of the rotten old house down in Saugerties
C majorC        G+G
I was here and I made a mighty stand
  FF         C majorC      G+G
But I may never stand right there again

C majorC          G+G
Play a sweet song on these old keys
  FF        C majorC    G+G
And hope y'all might remember me
    C majorC        G+G
'Cause all that time is here and gone
FF            C majorC    G+G
Won't be no one left to carry it on

    FF       G+G
From my piano bench I saw it all
     C majorC           A minorAm
From the great ascension to the mighty fall
     FF          G+G
How could anyone know what we sang that day
   C majorC        A minorAm
Would tear your heart apart this way

    FF         G+G
All my brothers they have flown away
   C majorC               A minorAm
But I still got something left that I wanna say
     FF
It's that sometimes you know what you know
    G+G
You'll never be free if you can't let go

CHORUS:

    C majorC           G+G
I'm the last hawk, flying over Woodstock
       A minorAm    C majorC    G+G
I can see the tree tops, praying for the rain
      C majorC            G+G
This is my last stop, gonna take a long walk
         A minorAm    C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Before I take my boots off, I'll see ya round the way
