This is my first video. Let me know what you think! It's a cover of Bob Dylan's "Boots of Spanish Leather" off The Times They Are A'Changing

Lyrics:
Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love
I'm sailin' away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that I'll be landing ?

No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean.

Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona ?

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

That I might be gone a long time
And it's only that I'm askin'
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more easy passin' ?

Oh, how can, how can you ask me again
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I want from you today
I would want again tomorrow.

I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.

Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'.

So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.

i have had this on repeat for probably an hour now, this is definitely on my most-favorite-covers-of-all-ti­me, list!

[santiagormd1]

@loveoffair Ahhhhh thank you so much!!

[dancingelfman]

what chords did you use?

[santiagormd1]

@dancingelfman Yo! I used an Em, C, G progression on every other line. The lines in between use an Em, D/Fsharp, C, G. Does that help?

[AshleyCaseJohnson]

You are amazing : )

I'm a huge fan of Bobby D and I'm usually skeptical about watching covers of his songs, but you really did pull this off.

You're voice, the guitar picking,and the way you sing the lyrics (the whole thing) really leaves me breathless.

Defiantly subscribing!

[santiagormd1]

@AshleyCaseJohnson Hey thanks! That means so much! I'm hoping to record a bunch more covers once my days get less busy. Thanks for subscribing!

[froggiechar]

Gee, you are certainly talented! You did an amazing job on this Dylan song! I subscribed so I can hear more of your great talent. I have a few of Bob Dylan's covers on my channel, too. I was just a young teen, when he was first popular. Use to sing his songs all the time, way back WHEN! LOL!

God bless, Brother Charlie (froggiechar).
