--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro} | A | B | D | A | [Verse]
           A      Asus4 A
If I could be you

             A     Asus4 A
If you could be me

             B     Bsus4 B |  B  |
For just one hour

            D
If we could find a way

         E                 A   Asus4 A | A  Asus4 A   |
To get inside each other’s mind
[Verse]
              A      Asus4 A
If you could see you 

           A    Asus4 A
Through my eyes

                B     Bsus4 B |  B  |
Instead of your ego 

                D
I believe you'd be, I believe you'd be 

             E                    A   Asus4 A |  A  |
Surprised to see that you've been blind       (break)
[Chorus]
                  A
Walk a mile in my shoes

                       D
Just walk a mile in my shoes

            E                     D
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse

                  A       |  A  |
Walk a mile in my shoes   (break)
[Verse]
          A             Asus4 A
Now if we spend the day

         A     Asus4 A
Throwing stones 

        B     Bsus4 B |  B  |
At one another

              D
Cause I don't think, 'cause I don't think

           E                     A   Asus4 A | A  Asus4 A   |
Or wear my hair the same way you do
[Verse]
        A      Asus4 A
Well, I may be 

       A      Asus4 A
Common people

             B     Bsus4 B |  B  |
But I'm your brother

             D
And when you strike out

                 E
You're trying to hurt me

             A   Asus4 A        |  A  |
It's hurting you,        Lord, have mercy
[Chorus]
                  A
Walk a mile in my shoes

                       D
Just walk a mile in my shoes

            E                     D
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse

                  A       |  A  |
Walk a mile in my shoes   (break)
[Verse]
              A      Asus4 A
Now there are people 

        A      Asus4 A
On reservations

               B     Bsus4 B |  B  |
And out in the ghetto

            D                            E
And brother there, but, for the grace of god

           A   Asus4 A | A  Asus4 A   |
Go you and I
[Verse]
     A      Asus4 A
If I only 

    A      Asus4 A
Had wings 

            B     Bsus4 B |  B  |
Of a little angel

                    D
Don't you know, I'd fly

                E
To the top of a mountain

             A         A
And then I'd cry, cry, cry
[Chorus]
                  A
Walk a mile in my shoes

                       D
Just walk a mile in my shoes

            E                     D
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse

                  A    |  A  |
Walk a mile in my shoes
[Chorus]
                  A
Walk a mile in my shoes

                       D
Just walk a mile in my shoes

            E                     D
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
(break)
                 [ A ]
Walk a mile in my shoes
