E
You keep saying you've got something for me,

E                               E7
Something you call love, but confess,

A                                                 A7
You've been a-messin' where you shouldn'ta been a-messin',

    E
And now someone else is gettin' all your best.
[Chorus]
      G                  E
These boots are made for walkin',

    G                        E
And that's just what they'll do,

G                       E*
One of these days these boots,

N.C.                    E   E
Are gonna walk all over you.
[Interlude] E E E E [Verse 2]

You keep lying when you oughta be truthin',

E                                   E7
You keep losin' when you oughta not bet,

A                                    A7
You keep samin' when you oughta be a-changin',

           E
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.
[Chorus]
      G                  E
These boots are made for walkin',

    G                        E
And that's just what they'll do,

G                       E*
One of these days these boots,

N.C.                    E   E
Are gonna walk all over you.

E7
You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin',

E7
And you keep thinkin' that you'll never get burned,

A                                  A7
I just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah,

    E
And what he knows, you ain't had time to learn.
[Chorus]
      G                  E
These boots are made for walkin',

    G                        E
And that's just what they'll do,

G                       E*
One of these days these boots,

N.C.                    E   E
Are gonna walk all over you.
[Outro]
E  E
     Start walkin' little boots!

E  E
    Get with it boots!

E  E
   Wow!
