Verse 1: 
C     F        C               F
Wine, beer and spirits all the time,
F             C                G            C 
though I have you, still she's always on my mind.
C              G                C
The rain falls down I'm soaking through
C      G                            C
I'm an old man inside a young man's suit.
C            Am                F
My crocodile shoes are crying, too,
F        C             G               C
for they know how much love I have for you.

Chorus:

crocodile shoes, crocodile shoe....s.

Wine, beer and spirits take me down,

the lights are low and there's no one else around.
C                                           F                                                                F
The waitress sure looks pretty and that's a bad sign,
F          C                 G            C
I smile at her, still you're always on my mind.

Chorus:  
C                   Am               C
With your crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes,

crocodile shoes, crocodile shoe....s.
 
Am C Am Em F G C


Verse 3:

I've lost so much in a short time,
C            G                   C
don't see my kids, how I miss my wife.
C         Am         Em         F
I let the world slip through my hands
F           C              G              C
and now I'm talking to the only friends I have.

They're crying, too,       
C         Am
