Red Shoes

	  		
Intro 
G F C G 

verse 1 
     G           Gm 
I remember as a child 
G          F 
I was absolutely wild 
            C                           G 
'Bout some red shoes that my aunt Lucy wore 

She would let me stomp around 
          F 
In those high heels up and down 
             C                                 G 
'Round the house and 'round the wraparound porch 

Em 
And from that moment on 
           Bm 
I've had a pair of my own 
     C                                 G 
They make me feel at home and brand new 
 Em 
They build my confidence 
       Bm 
As if they've been heaven sent 
       C                                 D 
I feel alone, I'm puttin' on my red shoes
 

verse 2 
C               G 
I begged mama, "Pretty please 
         F 
From the wishbook order me 
          C                       G 
A pair of red shoes for my feet", so mama did 

Through the years I've thought about 
     F 
Aunt Lucy's love and think of how 
     C                                         G 
Such little things in life can make or break a kid 

Em 
I believe that every child 
         Bm 
Needs to feel a sense of pride 
    C                                            G 
And someone to love and guide and see them through 
 Em 
So many miles I've traveled 
       Bm 
Many times they've come unraveled 
       C                         D 
On the road both smooth or gravel 

But I've made it through, ooh 


Bridge 
G 
Hell and half of Georgia 
   F 
Or walkin' through New Orleans 
         C 
Walk the streets of Memphis bowlin' 
       G 
Stroll around a block or two 

And if God sees fit to hold me 
F 
Anyone that's ever known me 
C 
Know I'd walk the gold streets only 
G 
In a pair of red shoes 

Outro 
C        G 
And if I ever get to heaven 
F 
If I ever get to heaven 
C 
If I ever get to heaven 
           G 
And Lord I hope I do 
G 
I will walk the streets of glory 
       F 
I will walk the streets of glory 
       C 
I will tell my Lucy story 

And walk with her in red shoes
