#1.
A D
I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, that's what I always said.
E A
Cause he had you, and everything, tied with golden thread.
A D
Then Charlie left and went away, and when I got the news..
E A D A
it wasn't long till I was walking around in Charlie's shoes.
CHORUS:
A D
Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
E A
Walking back and forth across the floor.
A D
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company..
E A D A
these nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.

#2.
A D
The greener grass that turned my head, so swiftly did turn brown.
E A
Cause every little dream I build, she's always tearing down.
A D
I never knew old Charlie's shoes could have so many tacks..
E A D A
of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had them back.
CHORUS:
A D
Cause I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
E A
Walking back and forth across the floor.
A D
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company..
E A D A
these nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.
