Dirty Boots
BY:sonic youth

I believe this is Thurston's part---(the intro and verse)
tuning key: u=tune up
d=tune down
tuning: E-dG-D-G-dE-dD (thurston)
intro-
repeat about 4X

I'm not sure if the strumming is correct but here's my way......

SONG : Dirty Boots
The correct tunage is EEBBEF# for Lee
and EGDGED for Thurston
The following tab is in normal tunage (EADGBE) cause i didn't
want to loose all my strings!
Some parts missing so please send me comments and corrections
or evenmore the correct transcription as soon as possible.

*************************************************************
Start playing Figure 1 and then Figure 2
and after,when Thurston start singing,keep
playing Figure 3 during the following verses :
C5 D#5 A#5 C#5 C5
Here we go to another candle i know
D#5 A#5 C#5 C5
D#5 A#5 C#5 C5
all the girls there playing on a jelly roll
D#5 A#5 C#5 C5
The following part is missing :
time to take a ride
time to take it in a midnight eye
and if you wanna go
get on below
pinking out the day
dreaming out the crazy way
finger on the love
it's all above
Repeat Figure 3 again with :
everywhere it's six-sex-six by luck
a satellite wish will make it just enough
you be making out with a witch in a coffee truck
The following part is missing too :
time to rock the road
and tell the story of the jelly rollin
dirty boots are on
hi de ho
pinking out the black
dreamin' in a crack
satan got her tongue
now it's undone
Then play Figure 2 with :
i got some dirty boots
yeah dirty boots
i got some dirty boots
baby
dirty boots
hey!
After the "noisy-solo" is Figure 4 & Figure 5
and finally Thurston is playing Figure 6.

| And could this possibly be about how the 'alternative' guys (I have just seen the video, by the way), with 'dirty boots' that make me think about Doc Martens and the grunge era, go to concerts and treat them like any other people treat discos: just to make out? I guess there is a bit of sarcastic tone to the lyrics. | |
