Verse1
D G Am D
Even now I see him walking home at sundown

He's whistling rock of ages with his lunchbox at his side

I still recall the smell of smoke and ashes on his jacket

And that factory dust was on his shoes the afternoon he died
Vwese2
D G Am D
I swore I'd never heed that factory whistle
D G F G D
In a banker's cage I signed a loan against my future sins
D G Am D
All the neighbors shook my hand and wished me well upon my leaving
D G F G D
Though my father was a poor man he owned a wealth of friends
Chorus
F#m B C#m C#m7
So take these boots that shine like Judas silver
F#m B C#m C#m7
And all these sad reflections on lost untraveled roads
F#m B C#m C#m7
While the rain falls on a field of bones and roses
F#m B C#m C#m7
Give me back my father's shoes and let me walk in those

My stroke was good, the deals fell fast and easy
D G F G D

And I walked in them the halls of power but found no comfort there

Lady lay these boots upon the fire
D G F G D

Now these soles are stained from walking on the dreams of better men
