Boots or Hearts - The Tragically Hip
From the LP Up to Here
Tune A sting down to G
Note: Use an upstroke when striking the the open 3rd string (G)
Intro:
C and D chords alternate between these chords:
Fill A Fill B
Fill C Fill D
[G]Well I think that there's a problem here
G Fill B
her voice just don't sound right
[G]but I left myself on her answering machine
G Fill A
said "I'm back in town tonight."
[C]I feel I've stepped out of the wilderness
C Fill D
all squint-eyed and confused
[G]but even babies raised by wolves
G Fill B
they know exactly when they've been used
CHORUS:
[C]See when it starts to[D] fall apart,
G Fill A
it really falls apart
like [C]boots or hearts, oh[D] when they start
G Fill A
they really fall apart
[G]Fingers and toes, fingers and toes,
G Fill C
forty things we share
[G]forty-one if you include,
[G]the fact that we don't care
[C]now you've blocked off most of main street
C Fill D
for your faith parade
[G]everyone in town now, they probably all agree
[G]I'm lying in the bed I made
CHORUS
SOLO
[G]Now you won't even let me talk to you
[G]we got some air to clear
[G]we'd probably only agree on one thing anyway
G Fill C
that's what the hell is happening here?
[C]fingers and toes, fingers and toes
C Fill D
forty things we share
[G]forty-one if you include
[G]the fact that we don't care
this is my version of this song. enjoy
