[Intro]
E A D A
[Verse 1]
AI'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, that's Dwhat I always said.
Cause Ehe had you, and everything, tied with  golden Athread.
AThen Charlie left and went away, and Dwhen I got the news..
it Ewasn't long till I was walking around in Charlie's AshoesD.A  
[Chorus]
ANow I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie Dwore.
EWalking back and forth across the Afloor.
AThe troubles that drove him away I've Dgot for company..
these Enights in Charlie's shoes are killing Ame.D  A

ACause I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie Dwore.
EWalking back and forth across the Afloor.
AThe troubles that drove him away I've Dgot for company..
these Enights in Charlie's shoes are killing Ame.D  A
