You're barely but a sapling,

If ye need a seed to prosper,

Asus4 Asus4 
 
These dead     man's boots

and they probably will.
G G 
 
A A 
 
There's a place for ye there

to sink your roots,

And take a walk down the river in these

dead     man's boots.

When his hand was all that I'd received,

Em Em 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
as far as I remember.

when I came     of age September.

Asus4 Asus4 
 
These dead     man's boots know their
D D 
 
way down the hill,
G G 
 
They can walk there themselves,
D D 
 
and they probably will.
G G 
 
I'd plenty of choices,
A A 
 
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
and plenty other routes,
Asus4 Asus4 
 
An       d he'd never see me walking in
D D 
 
C C 
 
these dead man's boots.

Verse 7
G G 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
What was it made him think I'd be happy
Asus4 Asus4 
 
ending up like him?
G G 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
When he'd hardly got two halfpennies left,
A A 
 
Em Em 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
or a broken pot to piss in.
G G 
 
D D 
 
He wanted this same thing for me,
Em Em 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
was that his final wish?
He said,
G G

G G 
 
"What the hell are ye gonna do?"
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
Dm Dm 
 
D D

Verse 8
Asus4 Asus4 
 
These dead     man's boots know their
D D 
 
way down the hill,
G G 
 
They can walk there themselves
D D 
 
and they most likely will.
G G 
 
But they won't walk with me
D D 
 
'cos I'm off the other way,
G G 
 
I've had it up to here,
D D 
 
I'm gonna have my say.
G G 
 
When all ye've got left
D D 
 
is that cross on the wall?
G G 
 
I want nothing from you,
D D 
 
I want nothing at all.
Em Em 
 
Not a pension, nor a pittance,
D D 
 
when your whole life is through,
G G 
 
Get this through your head,
A A 
 
I'm nothing like you,
G G 
 
A A 
 
I'm done with all the arguments,
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
there'll be no more dispute,
Asus4 Asus4 
 
And ye'll die before ye see me
Dm Dm 
 
Em Em 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
in your dead man's boots.
