D G A And there's whiskey flowing out of every door D G A When at last I finally woke, found out 'twas all a joke D G A I shook and shaked the remnants of the booze D G A But the memory of that dream make me heart just wanna scream D G A Them brilliant filthy magic ratty shoes [Chorus] D G A These ratty shoes, they're gonna take me D G A Gonna take me from my worry and my woe D G A These ratty shoes, they'll not forsake me D G A And the grass beneath my feet will never grow [Instrumental] | D | D | G | A | | D | D | G | A | | D | D | G | A | | D | D | G | A | [Outro] D G A I'm going home D G A I'm going home D G A I'm going home | Bm | A | D G | D |
