I think that this is one of the strongest songs from their debut album 

ENJOY  Standard Tuning 

"Tall Boots" 

G                                  D 
I'm a lover of yesterday, it don't matter where I lay 
         C                           G 
I've got tall boots, and memories to hold 
G                                    D 
And when the sun finally sets, I can see my cigarette 
        C                          G 
Burning slow like the songs on the radio 

G, G/F# (this bass note walk-down happens between verse and Chorus to the Em) 

Em                    C 
Young man, seventeen, Green eyes and blue jeans and  
D                                   G      G,G/F#, Em 
Boots so old, all the miles they've seen 
Em                       C       
I remember holding on to every prayer I said at dawn 
     D                                 G 
Like get me home, I promise I'll never leave 
               C     G         D             G 
I promise I'll never leave, oh where would I go 
                   C     G                D 
Because all of these melodies are sad and cold 
              C    G  D         G 
and all these stories that been told  
C        G          D 
all have me growing old 

G                                   D 
on the dusty hood of a car, I could hear all the stars 
         C                    G 
Singing out of tune, with the moon 
G                                 D 
and the song was sad as hell, and then the stars fell 
         C                          G 
lighting up the road between me and you.  (G  G/F#, Em walkdown) 

Em           C 
Young man 23 living on amphetamines  
    D                                G            G,G/F#, Em 
and eyes so black all of the sadness they've seen   
Em                       C 
I remember holding on to every prayer I've said at dawn 
     D                                 G 
Like get me home, I promise I'll never leave 

             C     G         D             G 
Promise I'll never leave, oh where would I go 
                 C      G             D 
Because of these melodies are sad and slow 
                 C    G  D         G 
and all of these stories that been told 
C       G           D 
all have me growing old 

Instrumental Break 

Em                        C 
I remember holding on, to every prayer I said at dawn 
     D                                 G 
Like get me home, I promise I'll never leave 

             C     G         D             G 
Promise I'll never leave, oh where would I go 
                 C      G             D

                 C    G  D         G 
and all of these stories that been told 
C       G           D 
all have me growing old 

    C      G        D      G 
Badada, dada, dada dada, dada   
(basically repeat this over this progression until the end) 

This should do it.  Sorry I didn't tab the Instrumental/solo! 

Enjoy
