The Varaflames - If These Shoes Could Talk
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C F C F C
[VERSE 1:]
If these shoes could talk
F C
You would have to believe where I've been
I've just come back from somewhere
F G Am
And all of the places between
[VERSE 2:]
D7 F
I may look like a country boy dressed up to meet ya
C
Naïve and unaware
Am D7 F
Well, I've seen a few things that you would scarcely imagine
G C
If only you'd been there
[VERSE 2:]
F
So began a conversation
C
I heard yesterday
F
In the time honoured fashion of people
G
With too much to say
[VERSE 3:]
Am D7
Everyone talking and nobody listening
F C
They send but never receive
Am D7
Through all their anger it's hard to grab hold of
F G
Just what they hope to achieve
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F C F G Am D7 F C Am D7 F G
[VERSE 3:]
C F
There's a line in a song about words flying out
C
Like endless rain
F
I've heard people say that we'll never see
G
His like again
[VERSE 4:]
Am D7
Nobody listened when he cried in pain
F C
We were happy, singing along
Am D7
I think it's fair to say, sometimes we're prone
F G
To expecting too much from a song
[OUTRO:] (## fade to end ##)
C F C
If these shoes could talk
F C
You would have to believe where I've been
