Red Shoes chords by Dolly Parton

Intro:
G F C G


Verse 1:
   G      Gm
I remember as a child
G     F
I was absolutely wild
      C              G
’Bout some red shoes that my aunt Lucy wore

She would let me stomp around
     F
In those high heels up and down
       C                 G
’Round the house and ’round the wraparound porch

Chorus 1:
Em
And from that moment on
      Bm
I’ve had a pair of my own
   C                 G
They make me feel at home and brand new
 Em
They build my confidence
    Bm
As if they’ve been heaven sent
    C                 D
I feel alone, I’m puttin’ on my red shoes


Verse 2:
C        G
I begged mama, "Pretty please
     F
From the wishbook order me
     C            G
A pair of red shoes for my feet", so mama did

Through the years I’ve thought about
   F
Aunt Lucy’s love and think of how
   C                     G
Such little things in life can make or break a kid


Chorus 2:
Em
I believe that every child
     Bm
Needs to feel a sense of pride
  C                      G
And someone to love and guide and see them through
 Em
So many miles I’ve traveled
    Bm
Many times they’ve come unraveled
    C             D
On the road both smooth or gravel

But I’ve made it through, ooh


Bridge:
G
Hell and half of Georgia
  F
Or walkin’ through New Orleans
     C
Walk the streets of Memphis bowlin’
    G
Stroll around a block or two

And if God sees fit to hold me
F
Anyone that’s ever known me
C
Know I’d walk the gold streets only
G
In a pair of red shoes


Outro:
C    G
And if I ever get to heaven
F
If I ever get to heaven
C
If I ever get to heaven
      G
And Lord I hope I do
G
I will walk the streets of glory
    F
I will walk the streets of glory
    C
I will tell my Lucy story

And walk with her in red shoes
