SONG: THE BOOT ARTIST: ALAN JACKSON VIDEO: https://youtu.be/SxF1PdI61P0 TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: GUITARZAN7@HOTMAIL.COM THE BOOT ALAN JACKSON INTRO: D A G A D VERSE: D Well, the rain was comin` down sideways A When he made it into the bar G The water got through the hole in his boot D A So, he sat down to take it off
D And he saw me sittin` up on a barstool A Watchin` TV and drinkin` beer G And I said, `What the hell happened to you, boy D A That you wound up in here?` VERSE: D So, he told me all about her A And how good things had been G And how it all got tough with the money and love D A And I was drinkin` and listenin` to him D When he got to the part about leavin` A And gettin` caught out in the storm G I took another sip of my beer D A Set the bottle down on the bar And said ... CHORUS: G D It`s your life G D A And I`m not you, but if I were D I`d put my foot in the boot A Put the boot in the truck G Put the truck in the road A D D And go home to her VERSE: D Well, he told me it was complicated A And I just shook my head G I said, `You wanna see hard, try livin` in bars D A Your whole life tryin` to forget` D `Cause I lost a girl like yours once A And buddy, you better believe G I wouldn`t be sittin` here talkin` to you D A If somebody`d said to me CHORUS: G D It`s your life G D A And I`m not you, but if I were D I`d put my foot in the boot A Put the boot in the truck G Put the truck in the road A D D And go home to her BREAK: Bm A G When he told her about the rain Bm A G The boot, the bar and me D I bet she smiled A And cried just a little CHORUS: D He put his foot in the boot A Put the boot in the truck G Put the truck on the road A D And went home to her OUTRO: D A G A D G D / / / / / / / / / / / /
