Red Shoes Chords & Lyrics - Dolly Parton

[INTRO]
[G] [F] [C] [G]

[VERSE 1]
I rem[G]ember as a c[Gm]hild
[G]I was absol[F]utely wild
'Bout some r[C]ed shoes that my aunt Lucy w[G]ore

She would let me stomp around
In those h[F]igh heels up and down
'Round the ho[C]use and 'round the wraparound porc[G]h

[CHORUS 1]
[Em]And from that moment on
I've had a [Bm]pair of my own
They [C]make me feel at home and brand new[G]
T[Em]hey build my confidence
As if t[Bm]hey've been heaven sent
I feel [C]alone, I'm puttin' on my red shoes[D]

[VERSE 2]
[C]I begged mama, "[G]Pretty please
From the [F]wishbook order me
A pair of [C]red shoes for my feet", [G]so mama did

Through the years I've thought about
Aunt [F]Lucy's love and think of how
Such [C]little things in life can make or break a [G]kid

[CHORUS 2]
[Em]I believe that every child
Needs to [Bm]feel a sense of pride
And [C]someone to love and guide and see them throug[G]h
S[Em]o many miles I've traveled
Many ti[Bm]mes they've come unraveled
On the [C]road both smooth or gravel[D]

But I've made it through, ooh

[BRIDGE]
[G]Hell and half of Georgia
Or [F]walkin' through New Orleans
Walk the [C]streets of Memphis bowlin'
Stroll [G]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]And if I [G]ever get to heaven
[F]If I ever get to heaven
[C]If I ever get to heaven
And Lord I [G]hope I do
[G]I will walk the streets of glory
I will [F]walk the streets of glory
I will [C]tell my Lucy story

And walk with her in red shoes
