Take your pick, black or brown
C7 F Fmaj7 Bb
Great for the country or the man in town
C7 F Bb F C7
You're gonna need a quality shoe
***VERSE:(LOOK CHORDS FROM FIRST VERSE!)***
You don't want no stand-by pair
'Cos these'll take the wear and tear
Made to take good care of you
For that trip by road or rail
For extra grip on those rocky trails

You're gonna need a quality shoe
***BRIDGE:***

Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
C F
But I don't foresee too much of that
Am E7
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
Am F#dim
Around in the moonlight
Gm7 C7
With a cane and a top hat
***VERSE:(LOOK CHORDS FROM FIRST VERSE!)***
If you could use a change of pace
And be excused from the rat race
Just take a look at what's on view
Lace 'em up, walk around
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
You're gonna need a quality shoe
***SOLO:***

F Bb C7 F Fmaj7 Bb C7 F C7 F
***BRIDGE:***
Now I wish you sunny skies
And happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
And occasional snow
***VERSE:(LOOK CHORDS FROM FIRST VERSE!)***
You're gonna want to smile in them
If you're gonna walk a mile in them
There'll be times when you'll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
You're gonna need a quality shoe
***VERSE:***
F Bb
They got your toecaps reinforced with steel

Hard-wearing sole and heel
