               THE BOOT
              ALAN JACKSON

INTRO:
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA D MajorD

VERSE:
      D MajorD
Well, the rain was comin` down sideways
     A augmentedA
When he made it into the bar
   G+G
The water got through the hole in his boot
    D MajorD          A augmentedA
So, he sat down to take it off

    D MajorD
And he saw me sittin` up on a barstool
     A augmentedA
Watchin` TV and drinkin` beer
       G+G
And I said, `What the hell happened to you, boy
   D MajorD        A augmentedA
That you wound up in here?`

VERSE:
    D MajorD
So, he told me all about her
     A augmentedA
And how good things had been
   G+G
And how it all got tough with the money and love
      D MajorD             A augmentedA
And I was drinkin` and listenin` to him

     D MajorD
When he got to the part about leavin`
       A augmentedA
And gettin` caught out in the storm
  G+G
I took another sip of my beer
     D MajorD         A augmentedA
Set the bottle down on the bar

And said ...

CHORUS:
 G+G     D MajorD
It`s your life
   G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA
And I`m not you, but if I were

            D MajorD
I`d put my foot in the boot
           A augmentedA
Put the boot in the truck
           G+G
Put the truck in the road
 A augmentedA       D MajorD  D MajorD
And go home to her


VERSE:
     D MajorD
Well, he told me it was complicated
  A augmentedA
And I just shook my head
       G+G
I said, `You wanna see hard, try livin` in bars
   D MajorD            A augmentedA
Your whole life tryin` to forget`

     D MajorD
`Cause I lost a girl like yours once
   A augmentedA
And buddy, you better believe
  G+G
I wouldn`t be sittin` here talkin` to you
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
If somebody`d said to me


CHORUS:
 G+G     D MajorD
It`s your life
   G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA
And I`m not you, but if I were

            D MajorD
I`d put my foot in the boot
           A augmentedA
Put the boot in the truck
           G+G
Put the truck in the road
 A augmentedA       D MajorD  D MajorD
And go home to her


BREAK:
     B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G
When he told her about the rain
   B minorBm    A augmentedA   G+G
The boot, the bar and me
      D MajorD
I bet she smiled
         A augmentedA
And cried just a little


CHORUS:
            D MajorD
He put his foot in the boot
           A augmentedA
Put the boot in the truck
           G+G
Put the truck on the road
 A augmentedA        D MajorD
And went home to her
