[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
