The Other Shoe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]One old brown shoe falls in slow [C]motion
And [Em]the bedsprings hover
[C]right above your hea[D]d
As bed springs [G]do,
when you're be[C]neath them
[Em]Someone else just [C]climbed into [D]your bed

[Verse 2]
By the [C]time she thought you'd
probably got to [G]Phoenix[Em]
[G]She[C]'d arranged for
your shoes to be [D]filled
[Em]Well, you've got your [B]pride
and a [A]blue- [C]steel [A]'45
Waited for [C]the other shoe to [G]fall
And you [A]waited for the [C]other shoe to fall
[G]

[Verse 3]
Dig a double grave out in
[C]the meadow
And you'll [Em]curse the rain that
[C]turns the dirt to mud
[D]You'll [G]take 35 south
toward[Em]s La[C]redo
And you'll [Em]try to find a doc[C]tor
that'll [Em]prescribe an [C]elixir
That'll [Em]make everything [C]better except
your [Em]late wife and her [C]lover

[Verse 4]
By the [C]time she thought you'd
probably got to [G]Phoenix
She'd [C]sealed her fate and gotten
herself [D]killed[Em]
You've got your [Bm]pride [B]and
a [A]blue- [C]steel [A]'45
Waited for the [C]other shoe to [G]fall
And you [A]waited for the [C]other shoe to fall
[G]And you wai[A]ted for the
[C]other shoe to fall

[Outro 1]
[G][A][C]
