[Verse]
A Asus4 A
If I could be you
A Asus4 A
If you could be me
B Bsus4 B | B |
For just one hour
D
If we could find a way
E A Asus4 A | A Asus4 A |
To get inside each other’s mind
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
If you could see you
A Asus4 A
Through my eyes
B Bsus4 B | B |
Instead of your ego
D
I believe you'd be, I believe you'd be
E A Asus4 A | A |
Surprised to see that you've been blind (break)
[Chorus]
A
Walk a mile in my shoes
D
Just walk a mile in my shoes
E D
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
A | A |
Walk a mile in my shoes (break)
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
Now if we spend the day
A Asus4 A
Throwing stones
B Bsus4 B | B |
At one another
D
Cause I don't think, 'cause I don't think
E A Asus4 A | A Asus4 A |
Or wear my hair the same way you do
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
Well, I may be
A Asus4 A
Common people
B Bsus4 B | B |
But I'm your brother
D
And when you strike out
E
You're trying to hurt me
A Asus4 A | A |
It's hurting you, Lord, have mercy
[Chorus]
A
Walk a mile in my shoes
D
Just walk a mile in my shoes
E D
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
A | A |
Walk a mile in my shoes (break)
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
Now there are people
A Asus4 A
On reservations
B Bsus4 B | B |
And out in the ghetto
D E
And brother there, but, for the grace of god
A Asus4 A | A Asus4 A |
Go you and I
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
If I only
A Asus4 A
Had wings
B Bsus4 B | B |
Of a little angel
D
Don't you know, I'd fly
E
To the top of a mountain
A A
And then I'd cry, cry, cry
[Chorus]
A
Walk a mile in my shoes
D
Just walk a mile in my shoes
E D
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
A | A |
Walk a mile in my shoes
[Chorus]
A
Walk a mile in my shoes
D
Just walk a mile in my shoes
E D
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
(break)
[ A ]
Walk a mile in my shoes
