       D                                     G 
'Cause he had you and everything tied with a golden thread.

Then Charlie left and went away and when I got the news.

It wasn't long till I was walking 'round in Charlie's shoes.

Walking back and forth across the floor.

The troubles that drove him away I've got for company.

The greener grass that turned my head so swiftly did turn brown. 
       D                                          G 
'Cause every little dream I've built she's always tearing down.

I never knew old Charlie's shoes could have so many tacks.

Of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had 'em back.

Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.

The troubles that drove him away I've got for company.
