E7 But since their wings have got rusted, A B E you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. 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 B A E And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes. A B E Oh, 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 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 G#m Oh I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused. E7 But since their wings have got rusted, A B E you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. 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 B A E And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes. A E A E Red shoes, the angels want to wear my red shoes Red shoes, the angels want to wear my red (A)shoes (and so on) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= michael p mccullough ++++ Klamath Falls OR # 1.541.884.3278 michael@magick.net michaelm@cdsnet.net all moanday, tearsday, wailsday, thumpsday, frightday, shatterday (joyce/FW) http://www.magick.net/~michael/ http://www.magick.net/~michael/music.html
