CI'd like to be in C7Charlie's shoes   Fthat's what I always said
Cause G7he had you and every-thing  tied with a golden Cthread
Then Charlie left and C7went away  and Fwhen I got the news
It G7wasn't long till I was walking round in Charlie's Cshoes
Now I'm wearing out the C7shoes that Charlie Fwore
WG7alking back and forth across the Cfloor
The troubles that drove C7him away I've Fgot for company
These G7nights in Charlie's shoes are killing Cme
The greener grass that C7turned my head Fso swiftly did turn brown
Cause G7every little dream I built   she's always tearing Cdown
I never knew old C7Charlie's shoes   could Fhave so many tacks
Of G7disappointing sorrows and I wish   he had them Cback
Now I'm wearing out the C7shoes that Charlie Fwore
WG7alking back and forth across the Cfloor
The troubles that drove C7him away I've Fgot for company
These G7nights in Charlie's shoes are killing Cme
