Biography:
We are Hawkboy. Our official date of formation would be sometime in the year of 2009 possibly known to some at the time as Hellohighwater. Cody Bonnette and Aaron Lunsford started writing songs while they were both living in nashville during 2009 and 2010. After a string of unfortunate events, Hawkboy was silent for nearly a year until a touring opportunity came up in February of 2011. Hawkboy just finished their first U.S. tour and are preparing to embark on another which will hit the west coast this summer.

Wide Road by Hawkboy from their King Folly EP
*note for this song*
Hawkboy plays a lot of songs half a step down. You may want to
transpose this a half step up and tune your guitar a half step
down if you find C more comfortable than B
B for one bar
(Verse 1)
E F# B E F# B
Gave you a nice wide road, to watch you fall from the tight rope
C#m G#m C#m F#m
Now take your sorrys, and stuff 'em, Same old stories, changin' nothin'
E F# B E F# B
I was on my best, 'til whiskey woke my beast
C#m G#m C#m F#m
Now take my hands, uncuff'em, I swear I won't touch another, We will see
(CHORUS)
E F# B F# G#m
cos you are free to go, you keep sawing at the bone
B C#m D#m
You've got your head in your own, guillotine
E B F# G#m
And now I just wanna know, what's the kamikaze goal
B C#m F#
*Why your hangman's already knotted a rope*
*the last line is different lyrically every time*
INSTRUMENTAL: (B) E F#m B x2
C#m// G#m//
C#m// F#//
(Verse 2)
E F# B E F# B
Couldn't you learn at last, all the good weighs less,
C#m G#m F#
Than a little bad, ain't it sad, that's the way it is...chin up
(CHORUS) - *Why the mason's already started on your stone*
(Bridge) - the actual bridge doesn't have chord structure until the last
line, but the vocals line up with the chords I wrote
E F#
No, you gotta walk back through that mine field
E F#
No, you gotta walk back through that mine field
E F#
No, you gotta walk back through that mine field
E F#
You gotta know, you gotta walk back through that mine field
(CHORUS) - *Why you can't be trusted alone*
INSTRUMENTAL x2 - (B) E F# B x3
F# E F#//
End on E
