"The Old Gold Shoe" by Lambchop
From the 2000 album Nixon
[Verse]
The Agold sterAmaj7eo
DStretches out the Esound
DTurns the plates untEil they're rounded
The Awhole that you Amaj7know
Gets Dcloser to the Eground
DCloser to that Ething you found
For Bmall our massive Amaj7brains
To Bmcall on cAmaj7hoked remains
It's Bmpainful
It's Ecertain
That Fsomething's bound to break
(inEside)E7  
[Verse]
This Ahouse is not Amaj7alone
I'm Dkicking 'round here Esomewhere
So Dcheck behind the aEncient speaker
Like a Apain, painful southern Amaj7bliss
DPoured upon like Ecaramel
And gDarnished with some Ecrushed pecans
To Bmgrow is not to Amaj7grind
To Bmmope is not to Amaj7mind
The Bmold cap
The Egeezer
The F15 second EteaserE7  
[Verse]
BeAhold and you Amaj7know
DEveryone's a Eringer
He's Dnot even a Every good singer
The Adirt on the Amaj7tracks
Has Dhardened into Eclusters
DEarthen legs and Ehoney mustard
A Bmstorm is closing Amaj7in
Our Bmleaves start to Amaj7spin
It's Bmgetting
Much Elater
I Fwish I heard your radio
(toEnight)E7  
[Verse]
The Apeople in the Amaj7rain
Are Dstaring through our Ebacks
DWishing you had Ehalf a brain
For Aall our little Amaj7pain
DTender is the Emangle
The Dscience diet the Eivory tangle
The Bmworld goes Amaj7away
Each Devery stinking Amaj7day
I'm Bmgetting
Much Ebetter
This Fnight's little upEsetterE7  
[Solo]
A Amaj7 D E D E
A Amaj7 D E D E
Bm Amaj7 Bm Amaj7 Bm E F E E7
[Verse]
The Akids out in the Amaj7street
DTake their toys and Ebreak them
DLook at them, then Ewalk away
The Aguy on the Amaj7cross
Is Dholier than EI
But Dthen again he's Emade from plastic
For Bmall our massive Amaj7brains
To Bmcall on choked rAmaj7emains
It's Bmpainful
It's Ecertain
That Fsomething's bound to break
(inEside)E7  A

"The Old Gold Shoe" by Lambchop

From the 2000 album Nixon

[Verse]

A Amaj7

The gold stereo

D E

Stretches out the sound

D E

Turns the plates until they're rounded

A Amaj7

The whole that you know

D E

Gets closer to the ground

D E

Closer to that thing you found

Bm Amaj7

For all our massive brains

Bm Amaj7

To call on choked remains

It's painful

It's certain

That something's bound to break

E E7

(inside)

[Verse]

A Amaj7

This house is not alone

D E

I'm kicking 'round here somewhere

D E

So check behind the ancient speaker

A Amaj7

Like a pain, painful southern bliss

D E

Poured upon like caramel

D E

And garnished with some crushed pecans

Bm Amaj7

To grow is not to grind

Bm Amaj7

To mope is not to mind

The old cap

The geezer

F E E7

The 15 second teaser

[Verse]

A Amaj7

Behold and you know

D E

Everyone's a ringer

D E

He's not even a very good singer

A Amaj7

The dirt on the tracks

D E

Has hardened into clusters

D E

Earthen legs and honey mustard

Bm Amaj7

A storm is closing in

Bm Amaj7

Our leaves start to spin

It's getting

Much later

I wish I heard your radio

E E7

(tonight)

[Verse]

A Amaj7

The people in the rain

D E

Are staring through our backs

D E

Wishing you had half a brain

A Amaj7

For all our little pain

D E

Tender is the mangle

D E

The science diet the ivory tangle

Bm Amaj7

The world goes away

D Amaj7

Each every stinking day

I'm getting

Much better

F E E7

This night's little upsetter

[Solo]

A Amaj7 D E D E

Bm Amaj7 Bm Amaj7 Bm E F E E7

[Verse]

A Amaj7

The kids out in the street

D E

Take their toys and break them

D E

Look at them, then walk away

A Amaj7

The guy on the cross

D E

Is holier than I

D E

But then again he's made from plastic

Bm Amaj7

For all our massive brains

Bm Amaj7

To call on choked remains

It's painful

It's certain

That something's bound to break

E E7 A
