Thirsty Boots

G    C  D  G    C  D

       G
You've been long and on the open road
C                           D
You’ve been sleeping in the rain
         G
From the dirty words and muddy cells
     C                       D
Your clothes are smeared and stained
        G
But the dirty words and muddy cells
     C                D
Will soon be judged insane
   G             C
So only stop and rest yourself
Am                 D
And you'll be off again

     G             C
Then take off your thirsty boots
    G         C
And stay for awhile
     G                Em
Your feet are hot and weary
Am           D
From a dusty mile
    G           C
And maybe I can make you laugh
Am              D
And maybe I can try
G                    Em
Just looking for the evening
C       D               G
And the morning in your eye

G    C  D  G    C  D

     G
Then tell me of the ones you saw
C                   D
As far as you could see
 G
Across the plains from field to town
C              D
Marching to be free
    G
And of the rusty prison gates
C              D
That tumble by degree
     G                  C
Like laughing children, one by one
    C         D       G
Who look like you and me

      G             C
Then, take off your thirsty boots
    G         C
And stay for awhile
     G                Em
Your feet are hot and weary
Am           D
From a dusty mile
    G           C
And maybe I can make you laugh
Am              D
And maybe I can try
G                    Em
Just looking for the evening
Am      D               G
And the morning in your eye

  G
I know that you’re no stranger
         C               D
Down the crooked rainbow trail
     G
From dancing cliff heads, shattered sills
C                     D
Of slandered shackled jails
    G
But the voices drift up from below
C                      D
As his walls are being scaled
    G               C
And all of this and more my friend
     C          D      G
Your song shall not be failed

      G             Em
Then, take off your thirsty boots
    Am        D
And stay for awhile
     G                Em
Your feet are hot and weary
Am           D
From a dusty mile
    G           C
And maybe I can make you laugh
Am              D
And maybe I can try
G                    Em
Just looking for the evening
Am              D       G
And the morning in your eye

Then, take off your thirsty boots
    Am        D
And stay for awhile
     G                Em
Your feet are hot and weary
Am           D
From a dusty mile
    G           C
And maybe I can make you laugh
Am              D
And maybe I can try
G                    Em
Just looking for the evening
Am              D       G
And the morning in your eye
