Chords with lyrics

INTRO: AbAb GbGb AbAb

#1.
DbDb     AbAb   GbGb     DbDb
In the shoemaker’s shop this refrain would
            AbAb          DbDb
never stop as he tapped away, working all the day.
GbGb   AbAb              EbmEbm    DbDb
At his bench, there was he, just as busy as a bee..
        AbAb            DbDb
little time to lose, with the boots and shoes.

#2.
GbGb   DbDb     GbGb   EbmEbm
But his heart went ¨pop¨ inside the little shop,
       AbAb        DbDb
when a lovely girl set him all awhirl.
GbGb   DbDb         GbGb       AbAb
She had come to choose some pretty dancing shoes..
                  DbDb
and he heard her say in a charming way.

CHORUS:
 EbmEbm    DbDb           GbGb
I want some shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..
AbAb            DbDb
dancing, dancing all the day.
            GbGb    Eb MajorEb    AbAb
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing
       DbDb
all my cares away.

#3.
GbGb   DbDb      AbAb    F minorFm
Then he tapped and he stitched for his fingers
    DbDb           AbAb        DbDb
were bewitched..and he sewed a dream, into every seam.
GbGb   DbDb      AbAb  EbmEbm    DbDb
Making shoes, oh, so neat, just like magic on her feet..
          AbAb           DbDb
and he hoped she’d know, that he loved her so.

#4.
DbDb                Eb MajorEb
But she danced, danced, danced as though she were
 EbmEbm       AbAb              DbDb
entranced..like a spinning top, all around the shop..
GbGb   DbDb   GbGb    Eb MajorEb        AbAb
on her dainty feet, she whirled into the street..
    Eb MajorEb    AbAb         DbDb
and he heard her say, as she danced away..

CHORUS:
DbDb           GbGb        AbAb
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing,
        DbDb
dancing all the day.
DbDb           GbGb    Eb MajorEb    AbAb
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing
       DbDb
all my cares away.

I want some shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..
A augmentedA            D MajorD

            G+G    E MajorE    A augmentedA
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing
       D MajorD
all my cares away.

OUTRO:

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing

all my cares away.

Dancing all my cares away.
