Thirsty Boots by Judy Collins
Thirsty Boots
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
G C D G C D
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
G C D G C D
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
G C D G C D
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
G C D G C D (2x)
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
[Outro]
