THE OTHER SHOE - The Old 97s
One old brown [G]shoe Falls in slow [C]motion
And the [Em]bed springs hover [C]right above your [D]head
As bed springs [G]do when you're be[C]neath them
[Em]Someone else just [C]climbed into your [D]bed
By the [C]time she thought you'd probably got to [G]Phoenix
[C]She'd arranged for your shoes to be [D]filled
[Em]But you've got your [D]pride and a [C]blue steel forty five
And you're waiting for the [D]other shoe to [G]fall
(pause) Dig a double [G]grave out in the [C]meadow
And you [Em]curse the rain that [C]turns the dirt to [D]mud
You take thirty[G]five south to La[C]redo
And you'll [Em]try to find a [C]doctor
Who can [Em]mix up some e[C]lixir
That'll [Em]make everything [C]better
'Cept your [Em]late wife and her [C]lover
By the [C]time she thought you'd probably got to [G]Phoenix
[C]She'd arranged for your shoes to be [D]filled
[Em]But you've got your [D]pride and a [C]blue steel forty five
And you're waiting for the [D]other shoe to [G]fall
Yeah you're [C]waiting for the [D]other shoe to [G]fall
