Song: Gonna Shine Up My Boots
Band: Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans
Album: Five Dollar Bill
Label: Stony Plain Records
Written and Performed By: Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans
Tabbed and Chorded By: ultimatelefty

I believe this is actually the first song I ever heard from Corb, it 
got me hooked right away! He's been known to play this song with a 
capo, but the studio version actually doesn't have one.The song is 
mostly just a switch between C and G with many dynamic changes, but
it's a pretty easy and fun song. I tried tabbing out the solo, I'm not
sure how close it is to being correct, but I'm up for corrections!
Please rate, comment, and enjoy!!
