Verse 1:
REm7 MIm7/RE
If you see something that looks like a star
REm7 MIm7/RE
And it's shooting up out of the ground
REm7 MIm7/RE REm7 MIm7/RE
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
REm7 MIm7/RE
And you just can't escape from the sound
REm7 MIm7/RE
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
REm7 MIm7/RE REm7 MIm7/RE
We were children once playing with toys

Of the low spark of high heeled boys

D7(no3) G/D D7(no3)
The percentage you're paying is too high a price
D7(no3) G/D D7(no3)
While you're living beyond all your means
D7(no3) G/D D7(no3)
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
FA/DO DO SOL
From the profit he's made on your dreams
FA/DO DO SOL
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
FA/DO DO SOL
By a gun that didn't make any noise
RE LA
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
DO SOL FA
Was the low spark of high heeled boys
[Instrumental break: 16-bar piano solo on Dm7]
REm7 MIm7/RE 2X
Verse 2:
If you had just a minute to breathe
And they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance
Or something similar as this
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
As sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
Of the low spark of high heeled boys
[repeat chorus]
High heeled boys
Instrumental break:
(Piano, sax, fuzz organ solos)
REm7 MIm7/RE 5 18 - 9 19
REm7
REm7 RE7
REm7 MIm7/RE 2X
Verse 3:
If I gave you everything that I owned
And asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you
Or take me for a ride
And strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high heeled boys
Heeled boys
[repeat chorus (instrumental)]
Coda:
Dm7 Em7/D [repeat to fade, w/fuzz organ]
