Chords

[Intro] G F C G [Verse 1]
    G
I remember as a child

      F
I was absolutely wild

           C                               G
'Bout some red shoes that my aunt Lucy wore

          G
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]
         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

            G
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
On the road both smooth or gravel

    D
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

       G
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]
         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

              G
And walk with her in red shoes
