Die With Your Boots On

• D

Lead guitar only on intro. 
D                            C 
Daddy was a gambler back in '72 
         G 
He had a taste for the night life 
        Bb       C 
And he loved his booze 
         D 
He had a woman on one arm 
      C 
And a tattoo on the other 
       G                                 Bb 
It was hard to read I don't know what it said 
C                  D 
Something about my mother 
        D                         C 
I stood over his shoulder back in Bakersfield 
            G                                Bb     C 
He had some rhinestone boots with those high ridin' heels 
   D                       C 
He bet a ton of money on a hand I thought was dead 
           G                       Bb 
When those 7's cleaned the table up 
        C                 D 
He just looked around and said 
Chorus: 
G 
Sometimes you win 
D 
Sometimes you won't 
A 
Sometimes you beat that devil 
D 
Sometimes you don't 
G 
We're all just killin' time 
D 
Til the good lord calls us home 
C                         G 
And the best that you can hope for is 
   Bb  C            D 
To die    with your boots on. 
D                          C 
I drive a big rig run from shore to shore 
           G 
I've got a woman beside me 
       Bb              C 
and my name out on the door 
D                                            C 
I can't make no money if I don't out run the man 
       G                                     Bb 
That's why you find me streakin' through the night 
C               D 
Catch me if you can 
Chorus 
Chorus 2 :  
G 
Sometimes you win 
D 
Sometimes you won't 
          A 
sometimes you'll out run that devil 
D 
Sometimes you don't 
G                                   D                  Bm 
We're all just killin' time til the good Lord calls us home 
        C                 G              Bb C 
And the best that you can hope for is to die 
D 
With your boots on 
D 
With your boots on
