Intro
G F C G
verse 1
G Gm
I remember as a child
G F
I was absolutely wild
C G
'Bout some red shoes that my aunt Lucy wore
She would let me stomp around
F
In those high heels up and down
C G
'Round the house and 'round the wraparound porch
Em
And from that moment on
Bm
I've had a pair of my own
C G
They make me feel at home and brand new
Em
They build my confidence
Bm
As if they've been heaven sent
C D
I feel alone, I'm puttin' on my red shoes
verse 2
C G
I begged mama, "Pretty please
F
From the wishbook order me
C G
A pair of red shoes for my feet", so mama did
Through the years I've thought about
F
Aunt Lucy's love and think of how
C G
Such little things in life can make or break a kid
Em
I believe that every child
Bm
Needs to feel a sense of pride
C G
And someone to love and guide and see them through
Em
So many miles I've traveled
Bm
Many times they've come unraveled
C D
On the road both smooth or gravel
But I've made it through, ooh
Bridge
G
Hell and half of Georgia
F
Or walkin' through New Orleans
C
Walk the streets of Memphis bowlin'
G
Stroll around a block or two
And if God sees fit to hold me
F
Anyone that's ever known me
C
Know I'd walk the gold streets only
G
In a pair of red shoes
Outro
C G
And if I ever get to heaven
F
If I ever get to heaven
C
If I ever get to heaven
G
And Lord I hope I do
G
I will walk the streets of glory
F
I will walk the streets of glory
C
I will tell my Lucy story
And walk with her in red shoes
