Until You Have Walked In My Shoes

D  A7  D  G  D  A  D

[Verse 1]
D            A              D
You say that I should still love her
          A              D
After the things she has done
                        G           D
You say it's best to forgive and forget
   E                A   A7
If I'm a big enough man.
        D             A7       D
But you can't see the shadow I stand in
                              G
And you don't know her like I do
   D          A         D         G
So don't tell me how to tie up my laces
  D            A            D     D7
Until you have walked in my shoes.

[Chorus]
       A                           G               D
Oh you can't give advice on what's wrong or what's right
  G          D           A
Until it has happened to you
   D          A         D         G
So don't tell me how to tie up my laces
  D            A            D
Until you have walked in my shoes.

[Break]

[Verse 2]
D           A              D
How can you judge from the outside
               A             D
If you haven't seen from within?
                        G          D
How do you know which direction to go
     E                       A     A7
On a road where you've never been?
          D         A7          D
If you've never set foot on the mountain
                        G
How can you show me the view?
   D          A         D         G
So don't tell me how to tie up my laces
  D            A            D     D7
Until you have walked in my shoes.

[Chorus]
           A                          G             D
For you've not walked a mile on these tired feet of mine
    G              D              A       A7
You don't know the hurt I've been through
   D          A         D         G
So don't tell me how to tie up my laces
  D            A            D
Until you have walked in my shoes.

[Outro]
   D          A         D         G
No don't tell me how to tie up my laces  (HOLD)
  D            A            G      D
Until you have walked in my shoes.
