#1.
A5                                                    B5
If I could be you, and you could be me, for just one hour.
            D5                   E5                  A5
If we could find, a way to get inside, each others mind.
A5                                                      B5
If you could see you, through my eyes, instead of your ego..
    D5                            E5                    A5
I believe you'd be, surprised to see, that you'd been blind.

Mmm..mmm.

CHORUS:
A5                                          D5
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
                 E5
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
                  A5
walk a mile in my shoes.

A5                                                       B5
Well, your whole world, you see around you, is just a reflection.
               D5                         E5                   A5
And the Law of Common, says you're gonna reap, just what you sow.
A5                                         B5
So, unless, you've lived a life, of total perfection..
                       D5                 E5                      A5
mm-mm , you'd better be careful, of every stone, that you should throw.

#3.
A5                                             B5
Yet, we spend the day, throwing stones at one another..
              D5                 E5                  A5
cause I don't think, or wear my hair, same way you do.
A5                                           B5
Well, I may be, common people, but I'm your brother.
             D5                      E5                       A5
And when you strike out, and try to hurt me, it's a hurtin' you.
A5
Lord have mercy.

CHORUS:
A5                                          D5
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
                 E5
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
                  A5
walk a mile in my shoes.

#4.
A5                                                 B5
There are people, on reservations, and out in the ghettos..
             D5                           E5               A5
and brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I.
A5                                  B5                             D5
If I only, had the wings of little Angels, don'tcha you know I'd fly,
                  E5                      A5
to the top of the mountain, and then I'd cry.

CHORUS:
A5                                          D5
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
                 E5
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
                  A5
walk a mile in my shoes.

CHORUS:
A5                                          D5
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
                 E5
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
                  A5
walk a mile in my shoes.

OUTRO:
A5                                          D5
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes..
                 E5
yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,
                  A5
walk a mile in my shoes.
