Lyrics

I would (Gm7)tell you ’bout the things they put me through, the (Dm7)pain I’ve been sub ject ed to, but the Lord him self, oh, would blush.

But The (Gm7)count less feasts laid at my feet, for (Dm7)bid den fruits for me to eat, but I think your pulse would start to rush.

Now, I’m not look ing for (Dm)ab so lu tion,

for give ness for the (Dm)things I do.

But be fore you come to (F)an y con clu sions,

try walk ing in my shoes.

Try walk ing in my shoes.

You’ll stum ble in my (Dm)foot steps.

Keep the same ap point ments (Bbmaj7)I kept.

If you try walk ing in my shoes,

if you try walk ing in my shoes.

Mo (Gm7)ral you i the ty would frown up on, the (Dm7)De cen cy look down up on the the scape goat fate’s made of me.

But I (Gm7)prom ise now, my judge and ju my (Dm7)in ten tions could n’t been pur My I case is eas y to to see.

I’m not look ing for a (Dm)clear er con science,

peace of mind af ter (Dm)what I’ve through.

And be fore we talk of (F)an y re pent ance,

try walk ing in my shoes.

Try walk ing in my shoes.

You’ll stum ble in my (Dm)foot steps.

Keep the same ap point ments (Bbmaj7)I kept.

If you try walk ing in my shoes,

if you try walk ing in my shoes.

Mo shoes.

Try walk ing in my shoes.

Now, I’m not (C)look ing for (Dm)ab so lu tion,

for (C)give ness for the (Dm)things I do.

But be (C)fore you come to (F)an y con clu sions,

try walk ing in my shoes.

Try walk ing in my shoes.

You’ll stum ble in my (Dm)foot steps.

Keep the same ap point ments (Bbmaj7)I kept.

If you try walk ing in my shoes.

You’ll stum ble in my (Dm)foot steps.

Keep the same ap point ments (Bbmaj7)I kept.

If you try walk ing in my shoes.

You’ll stum ble in my

Try walk ing in my shoes,

if you try walk ing in my shoes.

Try walk ing in my

shoes.

Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?

Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
