Elvis Costello – The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes (Ukulele)

E                                    G#m
Oh I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

                E7
But since their wings have got rusted,

              A            B           E
you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

              A                                  E
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain,

              A                     E
that's when I knew that I could not refuse.

            B                      A            B           A      E
And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

     A                            B        E
Oh,   I was watching while you're dancing away.

B                             A        E
Our love got fractured in the echo and sway.

A                           B       E
How come everybody wants to be your friend?

    G#m                                 B
You know that it still hurts me just to say it.

      E
Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh why's that)

            G#m
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 so hard to refuse.

            A
How can you say that I'm too old,

         E           B             A       E
when the angels have stolen my red shoes.

    A                     B       E
Oh, I said "I'm so happy, I could die."

B                                      A     E
She said "Drop dead," then left with another guy.

A                             B              E
That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance.

     G#m                                         B
Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence.

E                                    G#m
Oh I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

A              E                          A                    E
Red shoes, the angels want to wear my red shoes Red shoes, the angels

                    A
