Charlie's Shoes (1962) - Billy Walker 


Regular tuning - Capo 2 (all chords relative to capo)

D    G    
G                                  C    
I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, thats what I always said.
       D                                     G
'Cause he had you and everything tied with a golden thread.
G                                   C
Then Charlie left and went away and when I got the news.
D                                           G
It wasn't long till I was walking 'round in Charlie's shoes.

G                                  C
Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
D                             G
Walking back and forth across the floor.
G                                C
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company.
D                                   G              D    G
These nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.

G                                        C
The greener grass that turned my head so swiftly did turn brown.
       D                                          G
'Cause every little dream I've built she's always tearing down.
G                                C
I never knew old Charlie's shoes could have so many tacks.
   D                                G
Of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had 'em back.

G                                  C
Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
D                             G
Walking back and forth across the floor.
G                                C
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company.
D                                   G              D    G
These nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.
