[E] [A]
[D] [A]
This is called Boots of Spanish Leather.
[F#]
[E] [A] All it is is a kind of [D] when you can't get what you want, you have to settle for less
[A] kind of [D] song.
[E] Oh, I'm sailing away, my one true [A] love.
[D] [E] I'm sailing away [E] [A] in the morning.
[D]
[A] [D] [A] Is [F#] there something I can send you [E] from [D] across [A] the [D] sea?
[A] [E] From the place that I'll be [D] landing?
[A] No [E] there's nothing you can send [F#] me, my [E] one [A] true love.
[D] [A] [E] There's nothing I'm wishing to [A] be owning.
[D] [A]
[F#] Just to carry yourself [A] back to [D] me [A] [D] unspoiled [A] [E]
from [C#] across [A] that lonesome ocean.
[D] [A]
[E] Ah, but I just thought you might want something [A] fine.
[D] [A]
[E] Made of silver or [A] of [D] golden.
[F#] Either from the mountains of [A] Madrid [A] or from [E] the coast of [D] Barcelona.
[A] [D]
[E] But if I had the stars of the darkest [A] night [D] [A]
[E] and the diamonds from [A] the deepest ocean,
[D] [A] I'd [F#] forsake them all [F#m] for your [A] sweet kiss.
For [E] that's all I'm wishing to [D] be owning.
[A] [E] But I might be gone for a long old [A] time.
[D] [A] [E] And it's only that I'm asking.
[D] [A]
Is there [F#] something I can send you to remember me by?
[D] [A] To make [F#] your time [E] more [A] easy passing.
[D]
[A] [E] Oh how can, how can you ask [A] me again?
[F#] It only
[E] brings me [A] sorrow.
The same thing I would [D] want today, [D] [A] [E] I will want again [D] tomorrow.
[A] [E] Ah, but I got a letter on a lonesome [A] day.
[D] It [A] [F#] was from her [E] ship a [A]-sailing.
[D] [A]
Saying [F#] I don't [F#m] know when I'll be [D] coming back [A] again.
[A] [D]
It [F#] depends on [E] how I'm [D] feeling.
[A]
Well if [E] you, my love, must [E] think that [A] way,
[D] [A] [D] [A]
[F#] I'm sure your [E] mind [A] is roaming.
[D] [A] [F#] I'm sure your thoughts [A] are not with me,
but [F#] with the country [E] to where you're [D] going.
[D]
[A] So take heed, [E] take heed of the western [A] winds.
[A] [F#] Take heed of [E] the [A] stormy weather.
[D] [A] [F#] And yes, there's something [A] you can send back to me.
