You

Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
see these work boots in my hands,
they'll probably fit ye now my son,
C C 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
Take them, they're a gift from me,
Am Am 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
why don't you try them on?
G G 
 
D D 
 
It would do your old man good to see
G G 
 
D D 
 
you walking in these boots one day,
C C 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
And take your place among the men
Am Am 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
G G 
 
who work     upon the slipway.

Verse 2
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
These dead     man's boots,
G G 
 
though they're old and curled,
C C 
 
G G 
 
When a feller needs a job and a place in the world,
C C 
 
D D 
 
And it's time for a man
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
to put down roots,
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
And walk to the river in his old man's boots.
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 

Verse 3
G G 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
He said, "I'm nearly done and asking this,
D D 
 
that ye do one final thing for me!
C C 
 
D D 
 
You're barely but a sapling,
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
Am Am 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
and you think that you're a tree.
G G 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
If ye need a seed to prosper,
ye must first put down some roots.
C C 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
Just one foot then the other in
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
these dead     man's boots."

Verse 4
G G 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
These dead     man's boots
G G 
 
know their way down the hill,
C C 
 
They could walk there themselves,
G G 
 
and they probably will.
C C 
 
D D 
 
There's a place for ye there
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
to sink your roots,
D D 
 
And take a walk down the river in these
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
dead     man's boots.
G G 
 
I said,

Verse 5
C C 
 
G G 
 
"Why in the Hell would I do that?
Am Am 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
And why would I agree?"
C C 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
When his hand was all that I'd received,
D D 
 
Am Am 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
as far as I remember.
C C 
 
G G 
 
It's not as if he'd spoiled me with
Am Am 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
his kindness up to then ye see.
C C 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
I'd a plan of me own and I'd quit this place
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
when I came     of age September.

Verse 6
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
These dead     man's boots know their
G G 
 
way down the hill,
C C 
 
They can walk there themselves,
G G 
 
and they probably will.
C C 
 
I'd plenty of choices,
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
and plenty other routes,
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
An       d he'd never see me walking in
G G 
 
F F 
 
these dead man's boots.

Verse 7
C C 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
What was it made him think I'd be happy
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
ending up like him?
C C 
 
D D 
 
C C 
 
When he'd hardly got two halfpennies left,
D D 
 
Am Am 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
or a broken pot to piss in.
C C 
 
G G 
 
He wanted this same thing for me,
Am Am 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
was that his final wish?
He said,
C C 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
C C 
 
"What the hell are ye gonna do?"
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Gm Gm 
 
G G 
 
I said, "Anything but this!"

Verse 8
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
These dead     man's boots know their
G G 
 
way down the hill,
C C 
 
They can walk there themselves
G G 
 
and they most likely will.
C C 
 
But they won't walk with me
G G 
 
'cos I'm off the other way,
C C 
 
I've had it up to here,
G G 
 
I'm gonna have my say.
C C 
 
When all ye've got left
G G 
 
is that cross on the wall?
C C 
 
I want nothing from you,
G G 
 
I want nothing at all.
Am Am 
 
Not a pension, nor a pittance,
G G 
 
when your whole life is through,
C C 
 
Get this through your head,
D D 
 
I'm nothing like you,
C C 
 
D D 
 
I'm done with all the arguments,
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
there'll be no more dispute,
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
And ye'll die before ye see me
Gm Gm 
 
Am Am 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
in your dead man's boots.
