Thirsty Boots chords by Eric Andersen


Eric Andersen Chords


Eric Andersen     Thirsty Boots   written by Eric Andersen 

C                C/B    C/A  C/G
You've long been on the open road
            F              C     C/G
You've been sleepin in the rain
         C     C/B       C/A   C/G
From the dirty words and muddy cells
     F                      G
Your clothes are soiled and stained.
    C         C/B       C/A   C/G
But the dirty words and muddy cells
     F              G
Will soon be hid in shame
C                F        C
So only stop to  rest yourself
     F             G
Till you'll go off again.
   C             F
So take off your thirsty boots
    C        F 
And stay for awhile
     C        C/B     C/A
Your feet are hot and weary
Dm           G
From a dusty mile
    C           F
And maybe I can make you laugh
C           F 
Maybe I can try
         C       C/B     C/A
I'm just lookin' for the evening
        Dm      G       C
And the morning in your eyes.
C           C/B    C/A      C/G                 
But tell me of the ones you saw
   F                C    C/G
As far as you could see
   C             C/B  C/A      C/G
Across the plain from field to town
   F             G
A-marching to be free
    C      C/B    C/A    C/G
And of the rusted prison gates
     F            G
That tumbled by degree
     C                 F      C
Like laughing children one by one
     F                   G
They looked like you and me
   C             F
So take off your thirsty boots
    C        F 
And stay for awhile
     C        C/B     C/A
Your feet are hot and weary
Dm           G
From a dusty mile
    C           F
And maybe I can make you laugh
C           F 
Maybe I can try
         C       C/B     C/A
I'm just lookin' for the evening
        Dm      G       C
And the morning in your eyes.
C          C/B    C/A      C/G             
I know you are no stranger down
    F               C      C/G
The crooked rainbow trails
     C             C/B   C/A       C/G
From dancing cliff-edged shattered sills
   F                G 
Of slender shackled jails
C              C/B   C/A     C/G
But the voices drift up from below
       F                   G
As the walls they're being scaled
C       G       C       
All of this and more 
     F                 G
Your song shall not be failed.
   C             F
So take off your thirsty boots
    C        F 
And stay for awhile
     C        C/B     C/A
Your feet are hot and weary
Dm           G
From a dusty mile
    C           F
And maybe I can make you laugh
C           F 
Maybe I can try
         C       C/B     C/A
I'm just lookin' for the evening
        Dm      G       C
And the morning in your eyes.
