Charlie's Shoes

by Billy Walker

C                 C7                F

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

      G7                                             C

Cause he had you and every-thing  tied with a golden thread

                       C7            F

Then Charlie left and went away  and when I got the news

    G7                                               C

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

                        C7                 F

Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore

  G7                               C

Walking back and forth across the floor

                        C7            F

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

       G7                                   C

These nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me

                       C7             F

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

       G7                                               C

Cause every little dream I built   she's always tearing down

                  C7                     F

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

     G7                                           C

Of disappointing sorrows and I wish   he had them back
