Bb = 688766
C# = x4666x
G# = 466544
F = x8756x

These are the best ways to play the chords
The F is tricky but sounds right

[Intro]
(Bb) (G#) (Bb)
[Verse 1]
(Bb)
Woke up cold one tuesday
(C#) (G#)
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
(Bb) (C#) (F)
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life
Bb
So i quickly opened the wardrobe
C# G#
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean
Bb
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes
C# F
That were ripped around the seams
G#
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me
[Chorus]
Bb F
Hey, I put some new shoes on
Eb
And suddenly everything's right
Bb F
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
Eb
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
Bb F
Oh, short on money but long on time
Eb
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
Bb F
And I'm running late and I dont need an excuse
Eb
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
[Verse 2]
G# (Bb)
Woke up late one thursday
(C#) (G#)
And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes
(Bb)
And I felt like there were two days missing
(C#) (F)
As I focused on the time
Bb
And I made my way to the kitchen
C# G#
But I had to stop from the shock of what I found
Bb
A room full of all of our friends
C# F
All dancing round and round
G#
And I thought hello new shoes, bye bye them blues
[Chorus]
Bb F
Hey, I put some new shoes on
Eb
And suddenly everything's right
Bb F
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
Eb
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
Bb F
Oh, short on money but long on time
Eb
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
Bb F
And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
Eb
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
[Instrumental]
G# Bb Bb G# Bb
[Bridge]
Bb
Take me wandering through these streets
G# Bb
Where bright lights and angels meet
Bb
Stone to stone they take me on
G# Bb
I'm walking to the break of dawn
G# Bb
Take me wandering through these streets
G# Bb
Where bright lights and angels meet
G# Bb
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm walking to the break of dawn
[Chorus]

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything's right

And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting

Eb
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
Bb F
And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
Eb
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
