BOOTS OF SPANISH LEATHER (Bob Dylan)

[Actually in A; capo 2. Each chord is one measure, except two chords
joined by hyphens (e.g., "G - G/F#") are one measure _total_.]

CHORDS:
G: 3x000x D/F#: 2x023x Em: 0x200x C: x3201x C/G: 3x201x
G/F#: 2x000x D11: x54030 Em(9): 0x400x C(9): x3001x
The picking pattern is a basic alternating-bass thing:
E MajorE |----------------| E MajorE |----------------|
BB |--*-------*-----| BB |--*-------*-----|
G+G |------*-------*-| or G+G |------*-------*-|
D MajorD |----*-------*---| D MajorD |----*-------*---|
A augmentedA |----------------| A augmentedA |*-------*-------|
E MajorE |*-------*-------| E MajorE |----------------|
[The bass notes (D MajorD and E MajorE strings, always played by the thumb) in the pattern
are the most important; the other notes get left out from time to time.]
