Here's Red Shoes by Elvis Costello. I was surprised not to find this in the

archieves, so I took a shot at it - if someone wants to make corrections (esp.

someone with the songbook), go for it.

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.

e f# g# 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)

E

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.

*same as first four lines in first stanza and repeat on the chords for extra

lines*

Oh I used to be disgusted

and now I try to be amused.

But since their wings have got rusted,

you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
