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.

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.

to the top of the mountain, and then I'd cry.
