Red Shoes chords and lyrics - TOM WAITS

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Esus4][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
She wore [Am]red shoes
by the drugstore
As the rain splashed the nickel
Spilled like chablis along
the midway
There's a little blue jay
In a red dress, on a sad night

[Verse 2]
One straw in [Am]a root beer
A compact with a cracked mirror
And a bottle of evening in

[Verse 3]
Paris perfume
[Am]
He told her to wait in by the magazines
He had to take care of some
business it seems
Bring a raincoat and a suitcase
And your dark eyes
And wear those red shoes

[Verse 4]
There's [Am]a dark huddle at
the bus stop
Umbrellas arranged in a sad bouquet
Lil' Caesar got caught
He was going down to second
He was cooled
Changing stations on the chamber
[F]To [Am]steal a diamond
From a jewelry store for his baby
He loved the way she looked
in those red shoes

[Verse 5]
She [Am]waited by the drugstore
Caesar had never been this
late before
And the dogs bayed the moon
And rattled their chains
And the cold jingle of taps in a puddle
Was the burglar alarm
Snitching on Caesar

[Verse 6]
[Am]Now the rain washes memories
from the sidewalks
And the hounds splash down the nickel
Full of soldiers
And Santa Claus is drunk in the ski room
And it's Christmas eve in
a sad cafe
When the moon gets this way
There's a little blue jay
By the newsstand
Wearing red shoes

[Verse 7]
So [Am]meet me tonight by the drugstore
We're goin' out tonight

[Outro 1]
Wear your red shoes
[Am]
