[G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]I remember when I
[Bb]was snowed in and up [C]at old Shire town.
[G]I'm sure the next tou[C]r take me
right back through that town.
Snow was up to [Eb]your shoulders man
[F]and that ain't [G]no lie.
Chicago was[F#]n't so [C]cold,
it would make a polar bear [C#dim]cry.

[Verse 2]
[D]Now when you hear the people talk
about their bird called the hawk
[G]Now I'm gonna tell ya somethin' that'll make you,
let [Ab]out a squawk

[Verse 3]
[G]Now where I l[Bb]ive the weather
[C]'s mostly warm.
[G]We don't have to worry about
[C]no snow or if we have a storm.
But Shire town sits on
[F]the shores of [G]a lake,
and when that hawk [Bb]flaps his wings
it make [C]you shiver [C#dim]an ' shak[C]e.

[Verse 4]
[D]Now when you hear the people talk
about their bird called the hawk
[G]Man, I'm tellin' ya one thing, the[D]y jus[G]t let out a s[Ab]quawk

[Verse 5]
[G]But man, you sho[C]uld a been there in the
winter [C#dim]of '78.[G]
You couldn't catch a [Bb]cab
down on [C]State and Lake.
Now, you know that's bad 'cause,
[F]that's right in the heart of [G]town.
And it was so [Bb]bad the mayor [C]had
to close the whole town [D]down.

[Verse 6]
Now when you hear the people talk [D]about
their bird called the hawk
[G]Oh man, I tell you, tell you[D], let[G] out a [Ab]squawk
