F C You see these work boots in my hands, they'll probably fit you now my son Bb C Dm Gm Gm7 C7 Take them, they're a gift from me, why don't you try them on? F C It would do your old man good to see you walking in these boots one day Bb C Dm Gm C7 C F And take your place among the men who work upon the slipway [Chorus] C F These dead man's boots, though they're old and curled Bb F When a feller needs a job and a place in the world Bb C Dm Gm (Let it ring) And it's time for a man to put down roots C7 C And walk to the river in his old man's boots [Intro Half] (Do this once, instead of twice like you do at first) | F | C | % | % | [Verse 2] F C He said, "I'm nearly done and asking this, that you do one final thing for me Bb C Dm Gm Gm7 C You're barely but a sapling, and you think that you're a tree F C If you need a seed to prosper, you must first put down some roots Bb C Dm Gm C F Just one foot then the other in these dead man's boots" [Chorus] C F These dead man's boots know their way down the hill Bb F They could walk there themselves and they probably will Bb C Dm Gm There's a place for you there to sink your roots C7 C And take a walk to the river in his old man's boots [Mini Bridge] | F | Eb | [Verse 3] Bb F Gm C I said, "Why in the hell would I do that? And why would I agree?" Bb C Dm Gm Gm7 C7 When his hand was all that I'd received, as far as I remember Bb F Gm C It's not as if he'd spoiled me with his kindness up to then you see Bb C Dm Gm C F I'd a plan of me own and I'd quit this place when I came of age September [Chorus] C F These dead man's boots know their way down the hill Bb F They could walk there themselves and they probably will Bb C Dm Gm I'd plenty of choices, and plenty other routes C7 C And he'd never see me walking in these dead man's boots [Mini Bridge] | F | Eb | [Verse 4] (Varies a little from Verse 3) Bb F Gm C What was it made him think I'd be happy ending up like him? Bb C Dm Gm Gm7 C7 When he'd hardly got two half pennies left, or a broken pot to piss in Bb F Gm C He wanted this same thing for me, was that his final wish? Bb C Dm Gm C (Root note) He said, "What the hell are you going to do?" N.C. I said, "Anything but this!" F (Listen to the song to know where to play it) [Outro] C F These dead man's boots know their way down the hill Bb F They can walk there themselves and they most likely will Bb F But they won't walk with me because I'm off the other way Bb F I've had it up to here, I'm going to have my say Bb F When all you've got left is that cross on the wall Bb F I want nothing from you, I want nothing at all Gm F Not a pension nor a pittance, when your whole life is through Bb C Get this through your head, I'm nothing like you Bb Bb Gm (Let ring) I'm done with all the arguments, there'll be no more dispute C Ab Gm F (Rings until finishes) And you'll die before you see me in your dead man's boots
