Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C Am F G
[Verse]
C G Am
You've long been on the open road
C F
You've been sleepin' in the rain
G C G Am C
From dirty words and muddy cells
Dm G
You're clothes are soiled and stained
C G Am
But the dirty words, the mud of cells
C F G
Will soon be judged insane
C F
So only stop and rest yourself
F Dm G
And you'll be off again
[Chorus]
C F
Oh take off your thirsty boots
C F
And stay for awhile
C G Am C
Your feet are hard and weary
Dm G
From a dusty mile
C F
And maybe I can make you laugh
C F
And maybe I can try
C G Am Dm
Lookin' for the evening
G C
And the morning in your eyes
[Bridge]
Am A F G
[Verse]
C Am
Then tell me of the ones you saw
C F G
As far as you could see
C Am C
Across the plains from field to town
Dm G
Marchin' to be free
C Am
And of the rusted prison gates
F G
That tumbled by degree
C F
Like laughing children one by one
Dm G G
They look like you and me
[Chorus]
C F
So take off your thirsty boots
C F
And stay for awhile
C G Am C
Your feet are hard and weary
Dm G
From a dusty mile
C F
And maybe I can make you laugh
C F
And maybe I can try
C G Am C
Just lookin' for the evening
Am G C
And the morning in your eyes
[Bridge]
Am G F G
C G Am F
G C Am Dm

F G C F
Dm G G
[Verse]
C G Am C
I know you are no stranger now
F G
A crooked rainbow trail
C Am
From dancing cliffheads shattered sills
Dm G
To slander shackled jails
C Am
Where the voices drift up from below
F G
Its walls are being scaled
C F
Yes, all of this, and more my friend
Dm G
Your song shall not be failed
[Chorus]
C F C F
Oh, take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile.
C G Am C
Your feet are hot and weary
Dm G
From the dusty miles.
C F C F
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try.
C G Am C
Just looking for the evening
Dm G
And the morning in your eyes.
C F C F
Take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile.
C Am C
Your feet are hot and weary
Dm G
From the dusty miles.
C F C F
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try.
C Am C
Just looking for the evening
Dm G C
And the morning in your eyes.
[Outro]
