      The Varaflames - If These Shoes Could Talk


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO:] C  F  C      F  C

[VERSE 1:]
  
If these shoes could talk
          F                          C
You would have to believe where I've been

I've just come back from somewhere
    F                   G        Am
And all of the places between


[VERSE 2:]
                  D7                        F
I may look like a country boy dressed up to meet ya
             C
Naïve and unaware
      Am                     D7                       F
Well, I've seen a few things that you would scarcely imagine
              G           C
If only you'd been there


[VERSE 2:]
                 F
So began a conversation
              C
I heard yesterday
                                F
In the time honoured fashion of people 
                 G
With too much to say


[VERSE 3:]
Am                   D7
Everyone talking and nobody listening
     F                C
They send but never receive
Am                           D7
Through all their anger it's hard to grab hold of
     F                  G
Just what they hope to achieve


[INSTRUMENTAL:] C  F  C       F  G     Am  D7  F  C  Am  D7  F  G


[VERSE 3:]
          C                    F
There's a line in a song about words flying out 
             C
Like endless rain
                                 F
I've heard people say that we'll never see 
          G
His like again


[VERSE 4:]
Am                   D7
Nobody listened when he cried in pain
        F               C
We were happy, singing along
Am                        D7
I think it's fair to say, sometimes we're prone
     F                       G
To expecting too much from a song

         If these shoes could talk

         You would have to believe where I've been
