Intro:

      (fade in)

      Dm7                        [repeat to 1:15; vibra-slap enters]
       /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /

      D5             E5      [2X] [piano r.B.: A5 - C5 - D5 - F5 , B5 - D5 - E5 - G5 ]
       /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /

Verse 1:

                    D5                           E5
      If you see something that looks like a star
                D5                          E5
      And it's shooting up out of the ground
               D5                  E5               D5   E5
      And your     head is spinning       from a loud guitar
                     D5                         E5
      And you just  can't escape from the sound
                  D5                 E5
      Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
          D5               E5                D5  E5
      We were children once        playing with toys

              D5                           A5
      And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
              C5            G5           F5
      Of the low spark of high heeled boys

Bridge:

      (saxes arr. for guitar; doubled w/bass [2X; continue])

      D7(no3)           G5    D7(no3)            [piano r.B5 : D5 - A5 - C5 , D5 - G5 - B5 ]
       v   v   v   v     v   v   v   v                    (8th-note chords)

            D7(no3)                   G5      D7(no3)
      The percentage you're paying is too high a price
                 D7(no3)                   G5   D7(no3)
      While you're living beyond all your means
            D7(no3)                     G5        D7(no3)
      And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
                F5         C5             G5
      From the profit he's made on your dreams
            F5           C5             G5
      But today you just read that the man was shot dead
           F5              C5         G5
      By a gun that didn't make any noise
              D5                      A5
      But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
               C5            G5           F5
      Was the low spark of high heeled boys

[Instrumental break: 16-bar piano solo on Dm7]

      D5             E5      [2X]
       /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /

Verse 2:

      If you had just a minute to breathe
      And they granted you one final wish
      Would you ask for something like another chance
      Or something similar as this
      Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
      As sure as your sorrows are joys

      And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
      Of the low spark of high heeled boys

[repeat chorus]

      High heeled boys

Instrumental break:

      (Piano, sax, fuzz organ solos)

      Dm7             Em7/D      [5:18 - 9:19]
       /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /

      D5
       /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /
      D5           D5
       /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /
      D5              E5     [2X]
       /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /

Verse 3:

      If I gave you everything that I owned
      And asked for nothing in return
      Would you do the same for me as I would for you
      Or take me for a ride
      And strip me of everything including my pride
      But spirit is something that no one destroys

      And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
      Of the low spark of high heeled boys
      Heeled boys

[repeat chorus (instrumental)]

Coda:

      Dm7             Em7/D      [repeat to fade, w/fuzz organ]
       /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /
