[G] [D]
[G] [D]
His [A] father was Ukrainian, he was [D] born Canadian, [A] 1929 now boys, [D] under Manitoba [Am] skies.
Hit the [G] ice at the age of 12, the [D] first of a thousand [G] scars he'd have.
Lost a [A] brother to a mystery pain, so he brought [G] home the bruises [D] then.
And he [A] never rode a train before, [D] conscious of the clothes he wore.
A hockey [A] jacket and his brother's pants, ten [D] dollars pressed in his [Am] hands.
On the [G] heart of Michigan, leave [D] Winnipeg in the wind.
[G] With the [A] wreckings on the losing end, it was [G] Terry who changed everything.
[D] Oh the [G] air is stale, the [D] ice is slick, so you [A] gotta see the shot before it's [D] mean to stick.
[G] Only Terry Saw [D] Chuck done that, [A] only Terry Saw Chuck [D] ever done that.
[G] Only Terry Saw [D] Chuck done that, [A] only Terry Saw Chuck [D] ever done [G] that.
[D]
[A] Terry turned them all back, wave [D] upon wave they'd attack.
Boiled the [A] rocket and froze straight whole, take it [D] on the Chester and the Skull.
[E] Cheat the [G] Hawks and the Maple Leafs, leave the [D] Habs in disbelief.
[G] Send [A] New York win for A, and break [G] Boston's heart [D] again.
[A] Scar piled up on Star, like [D] he was in his own World War.
It would [A] hurt just to look at him, like the [D] gangster in the Howard Hawks [E] film.
And then the [G] mask that would hide his face, machine [D] gun and a violin [G] case.
Take your [A] best shot, let it come, cause the [G] sweater reads number one.
[D] And [G] finally the puck feels [D] like a brick, so you [A] gotta see the shot before it [D] leaves the stick.
[G] Only Terry Saw Chuck [D] done that, [A] only Terry Saw Chuck [Am] ever done that.
[G] Only Terry Saw Chuck [D] done that, [A] only Terry Saw Chuck [D] ever done that.
[G]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D]
Five [A] years in the Stanley Cup, the crowd's [D] wild as they lift him up.
But when you [A] win, they stand and cheer, when you [D] lose they hiss and jeer.
[E] The hometown [G] crowd got no respect, you give your [D] all, this is what you get.
[G]
So be [A] careful of what you wish, the sudden [G] death thought a bitter kiss.
[D]
And a [G] hostile crowd cuts you [D] through the quick, so you [A] try to see the shot before it [D] leaves the stick.
[G] Only Terry Saw Chuck [D] done that, [A] only Terry Saw Chuck [D] ever done [G] that.
[D]
The axe [A] falls with the Boston trade, the [D] top of a downhill grade.
[A] Olympia in slow decline, or [D] something darker, biting [Am] times.
He [G] carried all that load, he was the [D] darkest horse they [G] ever rode.
An ancient [A] game with ancient laws, he was the [G] best that there ever was.
[D] And the [A] rest was a bad dream, [D] shuffling from team to team.
But he was [A] done, it was all in ruin, retired [D] warrior at 41.
Ballet and [G] murder, time and space, 400 [D] stitches to his face.
[G] About a [A] week after his last game, Terry [G] Saw Chuck's heart [D] caves in.
But he [G] hears his brother's voice as he [D] lays awake, [A] try to see the shot before it [D] leaves the stick.
[G] Only Terry Saw [D] Chuck done that, [A] only Terry Saw Chuck [Am] ever [G] [D] [A]
