Boots Like Mine

Tom: D

        D
There’s boots like mine
        G                              D
On the billboard by the highway, Exit 209
        Asus4
All the signs point down to Broadway
        Em7                   Asus4
If you want that shine, for a pretty dime
 G
Then you can buy

D
Boots like mine
           G                             D
Ain’t the kind my daddy still wears down on the line
        Asus4
His old steel town steel toe workin’ pair
          Em7           Asus4
Built for overtime and extra miles
  G
Blue-collar style

[Chorus]

        D
Raise it up, whatever you get high on
Asus4
Here’s to leather and laced up nylon
Em7
Rubber soles under old work benches
 G
Caked up treads in the trenches

          D
Raise it up like a lighter in the sky salute
        Asus4
To the shoes that paved the hard road through
    Em7                Asus4
The dust, the mud, the blood
                        G
The ones who paid the price
                D
For boots like mine

[Fill]

[Verse]

 D
Boots like mine
        G
In the second bedroom down the hall
           D
Where a Mother lies
Asus4                           Em7
Waiting on a phone call from a satellite
        Asus4                G
On the front line where her baby wears a different kind

[Chorus]


Raise it up, whatever you get high on
Asus4
Here’s to leather and laced up nylon
Em7
Rubber soles under old work benches
 G
Caked up treads in the trenches

        D
Raise it up like a lighter in the sky salute
       Asus4
To the shoes that paved the hard road through
    Em7                Asus4
The dust, the mud, the blood
                        G
The ones who paid the price
                D
For boots like mine


Asus4 Em7 Asus4 G

        D
Raise it up, whatever you get high on
Asus4
Here’s to leather and laced up nylon
Em7
Rubber soles under old work benches
 G
Caked up treads in the trenches


Asus4
Raise it up like a lighter in the sky salute
             Asus4
To the shoes that paved the hard road through
        Em7             Asus4
The dust, the mud, the blood
                        G
The ones who paid the price
                D
For boots like mine
