Chords

From the album Wreck Your Life Attempted transcription by Joe Wachtel [Verse 1]
                C                 F
One old brown shoe falls in slow motion

     Am               F               G
And bedsprings hover right above your head

              C               F
As bedsprings do when you're beneath them

Am                 F                G
Someone else just climbed into your bed
[Chorus]
       F                                       C      C7
By the time she thought you'd probably got to Phoenix

F                                   G      G7
She'd arranged for your shoes to be filled

Am                       Em           Dm          F
  Well, you've got your pride, and a blue steel .45

            Dm              F             C    C7
And you're waitin' for the other shoe to fall

             Dm               F             C
Yeah, you're waitin' for the other shoe to fall
[Verse 2]
N.C.              C                F
You dig a double grave out in the meadow

        Am                  F                  G
And you curse the rain that turns the dirt to mud

          C                 F
You take 35 south towards Laredo

            Am            F
And you'll try to find a doctor

        Am            F
Who can prescribe an elixir

        Am              F
That'll make everything better

            Am                F
Except your late wife and her lover
[Chorus]
       F                                       C      C7
By the time she thought you'd probably got to Phoenix

       F                                 G      G7
She'd sealed her fate and gotten herself killed

Am                       Em           Dm          F
  Well, you've got your pride, and a blue steel .45

            Dm              F             C    C7
And you're waitin' for the other shoe to fall

              Dm              F             C    C7
Yeah, you're waitin' for the other shoe to fall

              Dm              F             C    C7
Yeah, you're waitin' for the other shoe to fall
