The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes by ELVIS COSTELLO

Intro

E B E B E

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 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)
