N.C.                   C  G  C
One, two, one, two, go

[Verse 1]

C
I need some help

            G            C
Finding the straps of my boots

C
Well, they evicted my flip-flops

       D7                 G  G7
And my Birkenstocks won't do

            C                            C7
Well, did a man-made famine and shut the factory down

            F                       D7
I know it's bad in Bangladesh but I hate this town

            C
I need some help

            G            C
Finding the straps of my boots

[Chorus]

C
I need some boots with straps

    Bb
I'm ditching the sandals

       F
I need heavy equipment

       Ab
I need shit with handles

       C
Give a hoot

            G            C
Show me the straps of my boots

[Verse 2]

C
They on the front or the back?

         G                       C
Mine are men's, don't it matter, too?

C
They raised the rent on my socks

       D7                    G    G7
But my callouses are getting grue

        C                    C7
Well, inflation blew up everything but my ties

         F
Man, I'd overdraft the bank

        D7
But the card's expired

            C
I need some help

            G            C
Finding the straps of my boots

C
Did they get blown off in a storm?

  G            C
A negligent pontoon

C
Well I heard somebody say

        D7                   G     G7
That my Crocs weren't really shoes

           C                          C7
Well, it's not that I think that the advice is evil

          F
I've just had a long day

      D7
And I hate the Eagles

        C
Now I'm running down the road

                G            C
Lookin' for the straps of my boots

And show me the straps of my boots
