[Verse 1]
F C
You see these work boots in my hands, they'll probably fit you now my son
Bb C Dm Gm Gm7 C7
Take them, they're a gift from me, why don't you try them on?
F C
It would do your old man good to see you walking in these boots one day
Bb C Dm Gm C7 C F
And take your place among the men who work upon the slipway
[Chorus]
C F
These dead man's boots, though they're old and curled
Bb F
When a feller needs a job and a place in the world
Bb C Dm Gm
And it's time for a man to put down roots
C7 C
And walk to the river in his old man's boots

[Verse 2]
F C
He said, "I'm nearly done and asking this, that you do one final thing for me
Bb C Dm Gm Gm7 C
You're barely but a sapling, and you think that you're a tree
F C
If you need a seed to prosper, you must first put down some roots
Bb C Dm Gm C F
Just one foot then the other in these dead man's boots"
[Ulangi Chorus]
