Judy Collins – Thirsty Boots (Guitar)

       G
You've been long and on the open road

C                           D
You’ve been sleeping in the rain

         G
From the dirty words and muddy cells

     C                       D
Your clothes are smeared and stained

        G
But the dirty words and muddy cells

     C                D
Will soon be judged insane

   G             C
So only stop and rest yourself

Am                 D
And you'll be off again

     G             C
Then take off your thirsty boots

    G         C
And stay for awhile

     G                Em
Your feet are hot and weary

Am           D
From a dusty mile

    G           C
And maybe I can make you laugh

Am              D
And maybe I can try

G                    Em
Just looking for the evening

C       D               G
And the morning in your eye

     G
Then tell me of the ones you saw

C                   D
As far as you could see

 G
Across the plains from field to town

C              D
Marching to be free

    G
And of the rusty prison gates

C              D
That tumble by degree

     G                  C
Like laughing children, one by one

    C         D       G
Who look like you and me

      G             C
Then, take off your thirsty boots

    G         C
And stay for awhile

     G                Em
Your feet are hot and weary

Am           D
From a dusty mile

    G           C
And maybe I can make you laugh

Am              D
And maybe I can try

G                    Em
Just looking for the evening

Am      D               G
And the morning in your eye

  G
I know that you’re no stranger

         C               D
Down the crooked rainbow trail

     G
From dancing cliff heads, shattered sills

C                     D
Of slandered shackled jails

    G
But the voices drift up from below

C                      D
As his walls are being scaled

    G               C
And all of this and more my friend

     C          D      G
Your song shall not be failed

      G             Em
Then, take off your thirsty boots

    Am        D
And stay for awhile

     G                Em
Your feet are hot and weary

Am           D
From a dusty mile

    G           C
And maybe I can make you laugh

Am              D
And maybe I can try

G                    Em
Just looking for the evening

Am              D       G
And the morning in your eye

      G             Em
Then, take off your thirsty boots

    Am        D
And stay for awhile

     G                Em
Your feet are hot and weary

Am           D
From a dusty mile

    G           C
And maybe I can make you laugh

Am              D
And maybe I can try

G                    Em
Just looking for the evening

Am              D       G
And the morning in your eye
