              G                  C 
One old brown shoe falls in slow motion 
    Em               C                D 
And bedsprings hover right above your head 
              G              C 
As bedsprings do when your beneath them 
Em                C                 D 
Someone else just climbed into your bed 

       C                                      G      G7 
By the time she thought you'd probably got to Phoenix 
C                                      D         D7 
   She'd arranged for your shoes to be filled 
Em ring          B7 ring     Am ring    C 
   You've got your pride, and a blue steel .45 
         Am              C             G    G7 
And your waitin' for the other shoe to fall 
           Am              C             G 
Yeah, your waitin' for the other shoe to fall 

                    G                C 
You'll dig a double grave out in the meadow 
           Em                  C                 D   D7 
And you'll curse the rain that turns the dirt to mud 
                 G                  C 
You'll take the 35 south towards Laredo 
           Em            C 
And you'll try to find a doctor 
        Em             C 
Who can prescribe an elixir 
        Em              C 
That'll make everything better 
            Em                C 
Except your late wife and her lover 

       C                                      G      G7 
By the time she thought you'd probably got to Phoenix 
      C                                  D         D7 
She'd sealed her fate and gotten herself killed 
Em ring          B7           Am           C 
   You've got your pride, and a blue steel .45 
         Am              C             G    G7 
And your waitin' for the other shoe to fall 
           Am              C             G   G7 
Yeah, your waitin' for the other shoe to fall 
           Am              C             G          Am   C   G 
Yeah, your waitin' for the other shoe to fall-----
