SONG: THE BOOT ARTIST: ALAN JACKSON TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] 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
