Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, that's what I always said.
Cause he had you, and everything, tied with golden thread.
Then Charlie left and went away, and when I got the news..
it wasn't long till I was walking around in Charlie's shoes.
Chorus
Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
Walking back and forth across the floor.
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company..
these nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.
(INTERLUDE:)
The greener grass that turned my head, so swiftly did turn brown.
Cause every little dream I build, she's always tearing down.
I never knew old Charlie's shoes could have so many tacks..
of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had them back.
Chorus
Cause I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
Walking back and forth across the floor.
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company..
these nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.
Outro
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
