The Sound Of Boots

Tom: G

Em  D/F#  G


[Verse 1]
Em                       D/F#                  G
Everything turned out as planned when I arrived,
Em                       D/F#             G
Stamp on my hand and I’m good to go inside,
     C           G          Am          G         D/F#
As I entered the room I was hearing the sound of “boots”,
      C      G            Am           G         D/F#
I was overly late just in time for the very last tune,


[Chorus]
                 Am            G   C
It came as a surprise but took control,
   Am  G             Em         D/F#    G
It got in through my heart into my      soul,
     G              Am      G   C
It’s getting on the edge of overflow,
       D                 Em             D/F#  G
But I don’t want it over don’t turn the music down,
              D
Just leave me floating,
          Em      D/F#  G
‘Bove the ground.


[Verse 2]
Em                D/F#            G
Only four minutes gone but deep inside,
      Em                  D/F#         G
I was tickled tangled and somehow tantalized,
          C  G             Am        G      D/F#
It’s been 22 years and the stamp has faded away,
          C    G         Am    G         D/F#
Unlike my resolution not to be too late again.


[Chorus]
                 Am            G   C
It came as a surprise but took control,
   Am  G             Em         D/F#    G
It got in through my heart into my      soul,
     G              Am      G   C
It’s getting on the edge of overflow,
       D                 Em             D/F#  G
But I don’t want it over don’t turn the music down,
              D
Just leave me floating,
          Am
‘Bove the ground,
    G       C
And lose control,
   Am  G             Em         D/F#    G
It got in through my heart into my     soul,
     G              Am      G   C
It’s getting on the edge of overflow,
       D                 Em             D     G
But I don’t want it over don’t turn the music down,
              D
Just leave me floating,
          C      A  G  Em  D
‘Bove the ground.


[Bridge]
        C
All the hail to a brilliant orchestrator,
A
The spectacular converter of chaos,
G                       Em    D
A victorious player, an icon.


[Chorus]
                 Am            G   C
It came as a surprise but took control,
   Am  G             Em         D/F#    G
It got in through my heart into my      soul,
     G              Am      G   C
It’s getting on the edge of overflow,
       D                 Em             D/F#  G
But I don’t want it over don’t turn the music down,
              D
Just leave me floating,
          Am
‘Bove the ground,
    G       C
And lose control,
   Am  G             Em         D/F#    G
It got in through my heart into my     soul,
     G              Am      G   C
It’s getting on the edge of overflow,
       D                 Em             D     G
But I don’t want it over don’t turn the music down,
              D
Just leave me floating,
          Am      G  C  D  Em  D/F# G Am G
‘Bove the ground.
