The Heel Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][F][A][Ebdim][D][A][B][Bb]
[A][Ab][G][Dm]
[G]The man who has me

[Verse 1]
[G]
for his own is on the town and I'm alone
In his new suit and his blue tie
He slammed that door
without goodbye

[Verse 2]
Tonight my eyes are [G]jealous green
Tonight I'm feeling mighty mean
He meets in [Dm]secret [G]rendezvous
Some gal to tell his troubles to
That dirty low down heel

[Verse 3]
He'll promise her most [G]anything
a sable coat a diamond ring
And she'll find out when it's too late
and all she'll get will be [A]the gate

[Verse 4]
But [A]while the dawn's a distant thing
in his embrace her heart will sing
Her dizzy head will spin with lies
And all too soon a woman cries
That dirty low down heel

[Verse 5]
The [A]neon lights that flash below
ignite my room with devil glow
And in the gloom I hear a laugh
that's coming from his photograph

[Verse 6]
I [A]ring my hands and walk the floor
and swear to even up the score
For where a kitten cries tonight a
panther waits to claw and bite
That dirty low down heel

[Verse 7]
I dare not play my [A]radio one
more complaint and out I go
I'm sick of playing solitaire the ace

[Verse 8]
of spades is everywhere
[A][Bb]
There'll be no sleep for me tonight
the sheep I [A]count are [Bb]nev er white
They all turn out to be jet black and whose
the leader of the pack
The heel

[Verse 9]
At dawn I know he'll [Bb]stagger in
demanding coffee black as sin and
As I pour it from the tin ill slip
a little powder [A]in

[Verse 10]
He'll [A]ring his hands and start to cry and cross
his heart and hope to die and mumble
I know how you feel but I've been
on a business deal

[Verse 11]
The heel
[A]
But as the pot begins to perk I know my plan
will never work and as he starts to drink it up

[Verse 12]
I'll take his hand and break the cup
[A]
It's only jealousy I know that's
brought my thinking down so low
Why must I just sit here and grieve
Why don't I just pack up and leave
That dirty low down heel
[G]

[Verse 13]
But now hes really on the stairs
I try to act like I don't care
For in my hearts arithmetic I find
it takes two heels to click

[Verse 14]
[G]We're in our world of love and hate
where it will [F]end is up to fate
[G]And I'll let him have his little fling an[Gm]
d be the chewing [G]gum that clings
To that dirty low down heel
That low down [G]lovable heel
