Here's Red Shoes by Elvis Costello. I was surprised not to find this in the Archieves, so I took a shot at it - if someone wants to make corrections (esp. Someone with the songbook), go for it.
Intro E A E Esus4
E Oh I used to be disgusted
G#m And now I try to be amused.
E But since their wings have got rusted,
A B E You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
E f# g# 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 E Esus4 E And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
A B E 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)
E 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 E Esus4 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.
*same as first four lines in first stanza and repeat on the chords for extra Lines* Oh I used to be disgusted And now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
