Tall Boots The Wild Feathers
I think that this is one of the strongest songs from their debut album
ENJOY Standard Tuning
"Tall Boots"
[G]I'm a lover of yesterday, it don't [D]matter where I lay
I've got [C]tall boots, and memories to [G]hold
[G]And when the sun finally sets, I can [D]see my cigarette
Burning [C]slow like the songs on the [G]radio
G, G/F# (this bass note walk-down happens between verse and chorus to the Em)
[Em]Young man, seventeen, [C]Green eyes and blue jeans and
D G G,G/F#, Em
Boots so old, all the miles they've seen
[Em]I remember holding on to [C]every prayer I said at dawn
Like [D]get me home, I promise I'll never [G]leave
I promise I'll [C]never [G]leave, oh [D]where would I [G]go
Because all of thes[C]e melo[G]dies are sad and [D]cold
and all these [C]stori[G]es [D]that been [G]told
[C]all have [G]me growing [D]old
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_wild_feathers/tall_boots_crd.html )
[G]on the dusty hood of a car, I could [D]hear all the stars
Singing o[C]ut of tune, with the [G]moon
[G]and the song was sad as hell, and [D]then the stars fell
lighting [C]up the road between me and [G]you. (G, G/F#, Em walkdown)
[Em]Young man 23 [C]living on amphetamines
D G G,G/F#, Em
and eyes so black all of the sadness they've seen
[Em]I remember holding on to [C]every prayer I've said at dawn
Like [D]get me home, I promise I'll never [G]leave
Promise I'll [C]never [G]leave, oh [D]where would I [G]go
Because of these [C]melodie[G]s are sad and [D]slow
and all of these [C]stori[G]es [D]that been [G]told
[C]all have[G] me growing [D]old
Instrumental Break
[Em]I remember holding on, to [C]every prayer I said at dawn
Like [D]get me home, I promise I'll never [G]leave
Promise I'll [C]never [G]leave, oh [D]where would I [G]go
Because of these [C]melodie[G]s are sad and [D]cold
and all of these [C]stori[G]es [D]that been [G]told
[C]all have[G] me growing [D]old
Bada[C]da, dad[G]a, dada d[D]ada, da[G]da
(basically repeat this over this progression until the end)
This should do it. Sorry I didn't tab the instrumental/solo!
Enjoy
