I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes   that's what I always said
      G7                                             C
Cause he had you and every-thing  tied with a golden thread
                      C7             F
Then Charlie left and went away  and when I got the news
   G7                                                C
It wasn't long till I was walking round in Charlie's shoes
 
                        C7                 F
Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore
 G7                               C
Walking back and forth across the floor
                        C7            F
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company
      G7                                    C
These nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me
               
                       C7             F
The greener grass that turned my head so swiftly did turn brown
      G7                                                C
Cause every little dream I built   she's always tearing down
                 C7                      F
I never knew old Charlie's shoes   could have so many tacks
   G7                                             C
Of disappointing sorrows and I wish   he had them back
