Charlie's Shoes (1962) - Billy Walker
Regular tuning - Capo 2 (all chords relative to capo)
[D] [G]
[G]I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, [C]thats what I always said.
'Cause [D]he had you and everything tied with a [G]golden thread.
[G]Then Charlie left and went away and [C]when I got the news.
[D]It wasn't long till I was walking 'round in [G]Charlie's shoes.
[G]Now I'm wearing out the shoes that [C]Charlie wore.
[D]Walking back and forth across [G]the floor.
[G]The troubles that drove him away [C]I've got for company.
[D]These nights in Charlie's shoes are [G]killing me.[D][G]
[G]The greener grass that turned my head so [C]swiftly did turn brown.
'Cause [D]every little dream I've built she's always [G]tearing down.
[G]I never knew old Charlie's shoes [C]could have so many tacks.
Of [D]disappointing sorrows and I wish [G]he had 'em back.
[G]Now I'm wearing out the shoes that [C]Charlie wore.
[D]Walking back and forth across [G]the floor.
[G]The troubles that drove him away [C]I've got for company.
[D]These nights in Charlie's shoes are [G]killing me.[D][G]
