Standard (EADGBE)

If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour

If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind

If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego

I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes

Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

walk a mile in my shoes

Well, your whole world you see around you is just a reflection

And the law of common says you're gonna reap just what you sow

So unless you've lived a life of total perfection

Mm-mm, you'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw

Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another

'cause I don't think or wear my hair same way you do

Well, I may be common people but I'm your brother

And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a 'hurtin you,

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes

Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

walk a mile in my shoes

There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos

And brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I

If I only had the wings of little angels, don'tcha you know I'd fly,

to the top of the mountain and then I'd cry?

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes

Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes

Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes

Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

walk a mile in my shoes
