Put Yourself in My Shoes
------------------------
recorded by Clint Black

Intro:  D#dim7/   (#9)/ //
(slashes separate measures in 4/4)

                              
Your mind is made up you won't even try
                        
You didn't even cry this time
                              
You say that we can never see eye to eye
                          
And one of us just must be blind
                              
We have our differences, we're still the same
                        
See what we all want to see
                                                    
But you take a second look and maybe things wouldn't seem the same
                                
If you could see what you mean to me

Chorus:
                
Put yourself in my shoes
                
Walk a mile for me
                      
I'll put myself in your shoes
              
Maybe then we'd see
                           
That if you'd put yourself in my shoes
                     
You'd have some sympathy
                   D#dim7                  (#9)
And if I could only put myself in your shoes
                         
I would walk right back to me


You're gonna keep walkin' and you're gonna pass me by
You say you don't even care
But I could always recognize a real goodbye
And I know your heart's not there
We've had our differences, we're still the same
Hear what we all want to hear
Now I'm head over heels in the lost and found it's a cryin' shame
I thought we made a perfect pair


Now, I'm still in the process of learning this, but here are the
chords that work best so far. You can leave off the chord alterations
and just play the basic triad for a simpler version.

Note: colons mean not to play the string and the number to the right
means the fret number.
