Intro
Bm D Em G Em F#m G
[Verse 1]
Bm D
Oh, cherry red soles,
Em G
I saw you dancing round real slow,
Em F#m G
Under the gaze of one light bulb alone.
Bm D
Oh, couldn't you speak,
Em G
Or were you lost in melody,
Em F#m G
At least that's how the memory unfolds.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A D Bm
Oh, don't suppose I'll ever know,
Em A D
Oh, how I left you behind.
[Chorus]
D F#m Bm
So long were the days were the days we called our own,
D G
Forgive me if i can walk alone,
Bm A
When I was a child I know, I know.
D F#m Bm
And so when that old street calls your name,
D G
But you'll never feel the same again,
Bm A
Screaming the words you can't explain.
D
Oh cherry red,
Bm G
Ba ba baa ba ba baa
A
da daa, oh cherry red.

[Verse 2]
Bm D
You painted my heart,
Em G
I pulled your hand into the dark,
Em F#m G
Behind the pool club parking lot we stood.
Bm D Em G
Oh out in that street where only fools and sinners meet,
Em F#m G
That's where I told you you would be my girl.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A D Bm
Oh, don't suppose I'll ever know,
Em A D
Oh, how I left you behind.
