Well it seemed to be just a dream 
    E 
But how is one to know 
 
There was a cat and a man made of tin 
            D                A 
There was a chick and an old scarecrow 
 
I got all shook up 
 
I raised my cup 
   E 
To toast that girl I'd seen 
 
I got my nerve 
 
I threw a curve 
      D               A 
And I told her what I mean 

       D 
I said ooh ooh 
                     A 
Where'd you get them ruby red shoes 
 
They look like they could take a man 
     D 
To a place he could use 
 
We could tap our heels girl 
    A 
And chase away my blues 
   D                            E        A 
If I could talk you out of them ruby red shoes 
 
 
(verse 2, same chords) 
It ain't hard to tell on a carousel 
Just where that horse might go 
So I jumped ship 
A shootin' from my hip 
Headed down that golden road 
Well the sky got black 
So I turned back 
I'm not one to steal the show 
Scarecrow was cool 
And the cat was too 
But me and tin man want to know 
 
Chorus repeats twice
