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

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