Boots of Spanish Leather Bob Dylan
These seem to be the chords on the album version:
but note that in all recent live renditions, he plays:
The theoretically inclined may note the interesting change that the
third chord has undergone, mainly because of the change in what
follows.
The chords are the same as for Girl From the North Country.

[G] [C/G] [G]
Oh, I'm [Em9] sailin' away my [D7/F#]own true [G]love[C/G] [G]
I'm [Em9]sailin' a[D7/F#]way in the [G]mornin'
Is there [Em]something I can send you from a[C/G]cross the [G]sea
From the [Em9]place that [D7/F#]I'll be [G]landing?[C/G] [G]
No, there's nothing you can send me my own true love.
There's nothing I'm a-wishin' to be ownin'.
Just a-carry yourself back to me unspoiled
from across that lonesome ocean.
Ah, but I just though you might want something fine
made of silver or of golden
either from the mountains of Madrid
or the coast of Barcelona.
But if I had the stars from the darkest night
and the diamonds from the deepest ocean,
I'd foresake them all for your sweet kiss,
for that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'
But I might be gone a long old time,
and it's only that I'm askin'.
Is there something I can send you to remember me by,
To make your time more easy passin'?
Oh 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.
Oh I got a letter on a lonesome day.
It was from her ship a'sailin'.
Sayin' "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again.
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'."
If you my love must think that a'way
I'm sure your mind is a'roamin'.
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
but with the country to where you're goin'.
So take heed, take heed of the Western winds.
Take heed of the stormy weather.
And yes, there's something you can send back to me:
Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather.
