D-DU-UDU
 The  boots you wear are heavy
 Rest now, I’ll wear them for  a while
 And  as you lie there sleeping
 I’ll walk down, and retrace every  mile
 All  the lines around  your eyes
 Show  the battles deep  inside  you
 They  are no match for me
 They  are no match for me
 They  are no match for me
 And  what I wouldn’t do,
  (  - 7 fret) (  - 7 fret)
 To wear your heavy boots
  (  - 7 fret) (  - 7 fret)
 To wear your heavy boots
  (  - 7 fret) (  - 7 fret)
 To wear your heavy boots
 Nanananana
 The  sea is wide and angry
 It’s merciless, and waits for you  to drown
 Your  arms are tired from swimming
 The violence is written  on your brow
 I  will take away the hurtful  words
 And  swallow them  with courage
 They  are no match for me
 They  are no match for me
 They  are no match for me
 And  what I wouldn’t do
  (  - 7 fret) (  - 7 fret)
 To wear your heavy boots
  (  - 7 fret) (  - 7 fret)
 To wear your heavy boots
  (  - 7 fret) (  - 7 fret)
 To wear your heavy boots
 Nanananana
 The  warriors are waiting
 For you, outside on  the street
 And  though you’re only waking
 Rush now, you’ll never miss  a beat
 All  the hungry virgin  eyes
 With  the scorpions in  their smiles
 When  their greedy fingers  rise
 They  are no match for me
 They  are no match for me
 They  are no match for me
