Lyrics

Boots Back On The Ground ( Everyone’s got a story )
Inst intro
A D (I got my boots back, my boots back on the ground)

Chorus

D Tacet A
Everyone’s got a story, some as old as the hills
G A D
Well I’m no different, though I’ve swallowed too many pills
D Bm
Now I’ve got myself my dream and a new broom sweeps clean
G
When I come out of the dark side of being a clown
A D
I’ve got, my boots back, my boots back on the ground
A D
I’ve got, my boots back, my boots back on the ground

Verse 1

G
Well I’m holding on by the skin of my teeth
D
drunk lying beneath a willow tree
G
I’m like a bobbing bottle that just won’t sink
A Tacet
This is my very last drink
G
And I come out of the dark side of being a clown
A D
I got my boots back, my boots back on the ground
A D
To put my boots back, my boots back on the ground

D Tacet A Tacet
Everyone’s got a story, some as old as the hills
G Tacet A Tacet D
And I’m no different, though I’ve swallowed too many pills

Verse 2

G
Lost love through a cradle of cries
D
Sad and lonely, I lost my pride
G
Didn’t know how to escape from my ways
A Tacet
Thank God, I did, and picked up the reigns
G
I come out of the dark side of being a clown
A D
I got my boots back, yeh my boots back on the ground
A D
Well I got my boots back, yeh my boots back on the ground

(Instrumental on Chorus up to Boots Back!)
D
boots back on the ground
A D
Yeh my boots back, my boots back on the ground

Chorus

D Tacet A
Everyone’s got a story, some as old as the hills
G A D
And I’m no different, though I’ve swallowed too many pills
D Bm
Now I’ve got myself my dream and a new broom sweeps clean
G
When I come out of the dark side of being a clown
A D
I’ve got my boots back, my boots back on the ground
A D
Then I know, I’ve got my boots back, my boots back on the ground

Slow down

A D
I’ve got, my boots back, my boots back on the ground

Then haunting outro guitar solo melody of
D
Everyone’s got a story
