The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes by ELVIS COSTELLO
EBEBE
EAbm
Oh I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
E7
But since their wings have got rusted,
ABE
you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
AE
But when they told me ’bout their side of the bargain,
AE
that’s when I knew that I could not refuse.
BABAE
And I won’t get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
ABE
Oh, I was watching while you’re dancing away.
BAE
Our love got fractured in the echo and sway.
ABE
How come everybody wants to be your friend?
AbmB
You know that it still hurts me just to say it.
E
Oh, I know that she’s disgusted (oh why’s that)
Abm
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 sohard to refuse.
A
How can you say that I’m too old,
EBAE
when the angels have stolen my red shoes.
ABE
Oh, I said "I’m so happy, I could die."
BAE
She said "Drop dead," then left with another guy.
ABE
That’s what you get if you go chasing after vengeance.
AbmB
Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence.
EAbm
Oh I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
E7
But since their wings have got rusted,
ABE
you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
AE
But when they told me ’bout their side of the bargain,
AE
that’s when I knew that I could not refuse.
BABAE
And I won’t get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
AEAE
Red shoes, the angels want to wear my red shoes Red shoes, the angels
want to
A
wear my red shoes (and so on)
