These Boots Are Made For Walkin by Nancy Sinatra - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Nancy Sinatra Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
Song: These boots are made for walkin'
Artist: Nancy Sinatra
Composer: Lee Hazlewood
Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar-) 22nd May 2014
Each of the 3 verses have slightly subtle differences for the chords, which
reflects the full original arrangement, but you could just stick with whichever
set of shapes you prefer and use that for all 3 verses if you like.
NOTE: Some of the G and E chords in the chorus are intended as single bass notes
in an ascending or descending progression. It looks more complicated than it
really is, but if you check it out carefully you'll get the riff.
