Paolo Nutini - New Shoes

A capo is used with different chords when the song is played live but
 this is how you play the album version (no capo used)


 = 688766

 = x4666x

 = 466544

  = x8756x

 = x6888x


These are the best ways to play the chords
The F is tricky but sounds right

Chords in brackets ( ) aren't played by the guitar but can be if you want to

Woke up cold one tuesday
()                     ()
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
()                                          ()          ()
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life
   
So i quickly opened the wardrobe
                         
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean

Topped it off with a pair of old shoes
                           
That were ripped around the seams
        
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me


               
Hey, I put some new shoes on
     
And suddenly everything's right
                       
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
       
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
                      
Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
                              
And I'm running late and I dont need an excuse
 
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

  Woke up late one thursday
    ()                  ()
And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes
      ()
And I felt like there were two days missing
   ()             ()
As I focused on the time
      
And I made my way to the kitchen
                          
But I had to stop from the shock of what I found

A room full of all of our friends
                     
All dancing round and round
       
And I thought hello new shoes, bye bye them blues


               
Hey, I put some new shoes on
     
And suddenly everything's right
                       
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
       
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
                      
Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
                               
And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
 
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes



        

                                       
Take me wandering through these streets
                                     
Where bright lights and angels meet
                               
Stone to stone they take me on
                                  
I'm walking to the break of dawn
                                       
Take me wandering through these streets
                                    
Where bright lights and angels meet
                               
Stone to stone they take me on

I'm walking to the break of dawn


               
Hey, I put some new shoes on
     
And suddenly everything's right
                       
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
       
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
                      
Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
                               
And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
 
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
