F
used to take us down
to the ice skating show
C
Oh, at the hockey rink, at the stadium,
G
C
when the Blackhawks were on the roll,
we would
G
They cheered for the clowns
F
And the beautiful figure ballet
C
Of the former Olympic champions
G
C
Am
Who would spin on the frozen spray
But there was one moment
G
D
G
in that whole spectacular show
C
strike up a quiet waltz
F
And they'd turn the lights down low
C
G
C
Old smoothies to old people on skates
G

doing the figure eights,
F
how they'd glide around the arena

glide and peer away.

Sequenced septuagenarians

who were doing their figure eights

How they'd glide around the arena

so serene and sublime
