BOOTS OF SPANISH LEATHER
Bob Dylan
Capo 2nd Fret
I: ( D9(11) - - - / / G - C - / D - G - / - » //)
Oh, I'm sailing away my own true love
I'm sailing away in the mornin'
Is there somethin' I can send you from across the sea
From the places where I'll be landin'?
Em - - - / C - G - / C - G - / - » / Em - C - / G - C - / G - - » /
Em - - - / C - G - / C - G - / - » / Em - C - / G - C / D - G - / - » //
There's nothin' you can send me my own true love
There's nothin' I'm wishin' to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
Ah, but I just thought you might want somethin' fine
Made of silver or golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona
If I had the stars of the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
That's all I wish to be ownin'
I might be gone a long ole time
And it's only that I'm askin'
Is there somethin' I can send you to remember me by?
To make your time more easy passin'?
How can, how can you ask me again?
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I would want today
I would want again tomorrow
I: (Intro)
Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from his ship a-sailin'
Sayin' I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm feelin'
If you my love must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is a-roamin'
I'm sure your thought are not with me
But with the country where you're goin'
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of stormy weather
And yes there is somethin' you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather
