RED SHOES            ELVIS COSTELLO

Intro  E   A   E   Esus4

E
Oh I used to be disgusted
          G#m
and now I try to be amused.
                E
But since their wings have got rusted,
              A            B           E    
you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
   (F#m  G#m)  A                               E
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain,
              A                     E
that's when I knew that I could not refuse.
            B                      A                        E   Esus4 E
And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

A                           B       E
I was watching while you're dancing away.
B                             A        E
Our love got fractured in the echo and sway.
A                           B       E
How come everybody wants to be your friend?
G#m                                     B
You know that it still hurts me just to say it.

       E
Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh why's that)
            G#m
Cause she's feeling so abused. (oh that's too bad)
          A
She gets tired of the lust, (oh I'm so sad)
            B
but it's so hard to refuse.
            A
How can you say that I'm too old,
         E           B      A       E     E Esus4 E
when the angels have stolen my red shoes.

A                         B       E
Oh, I said "I'm so happy, I could die."
B                               A            E
She said "Drop dead," then left with another guy.
A                             B              E
That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance.
G#m                                  B
Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence.

E
Oh I used to be disgusted
          G#m
and now I try to be amused.
                E
But since their wings have got rusted,
              A            B           E    
you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
   (F#m  G#m)  A                               E
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain,
              A                     E
that's when I knew that I could not refuse.
            B                      A                        E   Esus4 E
And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
            B                      A                        E   Esus4 E
And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
 A              B                       (A)
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Repeat to fade
