Papaw's Sunday Boots Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[G] fi[D]rst[G][D]
time
that I saw [G]them
He was wearing them
[D]to church.
They weren't all
[G]scruffed and scratchy
Like the ones he wore [A]to work.

[Verse 2]
[D]He was just a common [G]man
He didn't even own [D]a suit
But you could see the pride
Reflecting [A]in the shine of
Papaw's sunday boot[D]s.[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Every time he wore [G]them
I couldn't help [D]but stare.
I guess one day [G]he noticed
Cause he sat down in his [A]chair.

[Verse 4]
He [D]slipped them off and said
[G]Son
Why don't you try [D]them on.
They might not fit you now
But they'll [A]be yours someday
when I'm gone.
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Even after all this time
I still can't fill his [D]shoes
But i wouldn't take a million dollars
[A]for Papaw's sunday boots.
[D]

[Verse 6]
[A]It was[D]n't till our wedding day[G]
That I took them from [D]the bars.
Still they didn't fit [G]me
So I wore two pairs [A]of socks.

[Verse 7]
[D]Set them in [G]the closet
I didn't wear them for [D]a while.
Till I put them on the day
that we brought [A]home
Our first new born [D]child.[A]

[Verse 8]
[D]And now I've made a specia[G]l list
The things I want to do
before [D]i'm gone.
I want to wear them out
on that opera [G]stage
And sing his favorite [A]song.

[Verse 9]
[D]I want to walk our daughter
down [G]the isle
And then my last request.
[D]Make sure I'm wearing
Papaw's sunday [A]boots
The day I'm laid to [D]rest.

[Verse 10]
[G]Even after all this time
I still can't fill his [D]shoes.
But I wouldn't take a million dollars
[A]for Papaw's sunday boots.
[D]

[Verse 11]
[G]And just think
The nex[D]t time that I see him
I'll be [A]wearing [D]Papaw's sunday boots.
[G]
