Walk A Mile In My Shoes:Joe South.
#12 in 1970.

INTRO: A B D E A

#1.
A B
If I could be you, and you could be me, for just one hour.
D E A
If we could find, a way to get inside, each others mind.

A B
If you could see you, through my eyes, instead of your ego..
D E A
I believe you'd be, surprised to see, that you'd been blind.

Mmm..mmm.

CHORUS:
A D
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
E
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
A
walk a mile in my shoes.

#2.
A B
Well, your whole world, you see around you, is just a reflection.
D E A
And the Law of Common, says you're gonna reap, just what you sow.
A B
So, unless, you've lived a life, of total perfection..
D E A
mm-mm, you'd better be careful, of every stone, that you should throw.

#3.
A B
Yet, we spend the day, throwing stones at one another..
D E A
cause I don't think, or wear my hair, same way you do.
A B
Well, I may be, common people, but I'm your brother.
D E A
And when you strike out, and try to hurt me, it's a hurtin' you.
A
Lord have mercy.

CHORUS:
A D
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
E
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
A
walk a mile in my shoes.

#4.
A B
There are people, on reservations, and out in the ghettos..
D E A
and brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I.
A B D
If I only, had the wings of little Angels, don'tcha you know I'd fly,
E A
to the top of the mountain, and then I'd cry.

CHORUS:
A D
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
E
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
A
walk a mile in my shoes.

CHORUS:
A D
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
E
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
A
walk a mile in my shoes.

OUTRO:
A D
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
E
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
A
walk a mile in my shoes.
