Charlie’s shoes (video) (intro) (midi)

E - A

A A7 D

1. I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, that's what I always said,

E E7 A

’cause he had you and everything tied with a golden thread.

A A7 D

Oh, Charlie left and went away and when I got the news,

E E7 A

it wasn't long till I was walking round in Charlie's shoes.

- - - - - - - A A7 D

Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore,

E E7 A

just walking back and forth across the floor.

A A7 D

The troubles that drove him away I've got for company,

E E7 A

these nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.

A A7 D

2. The greener grass that turned my head so swiftly did turn brown,

E E7 A

’cause every little dream I built she's always tearing down.

A A7 D

I never knew old Charlie's shoes could have so many tacks

E E7 A

of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had them back.

+ CHORUS + E - A
