INTRO: Ab Gb Ab 

#1.
Db         Ab      Gb          Db
In the shoemaker's shop this refrain would 
                        Ab                    Db
never stop as he tapped away, working all the day.
Gb     Ab                           Ebm       Db
At his bench, there was he, just as busy as a bee..
               Ab                       Db
little time to lose, with the boots and shoes.

#2.
Gb      Db          Gb     Ebm
But his heart went "pop" inside the little shop,
              Ab                Db
when a lovely girl set him all awhirl.
Gb      Db                  Gb             Ab
She had come to choose some pretty dancing shoes..
                                   Db
and he heard her say in a charming way.

CHORUS:
  Ebm       Db                     Gb
I want some shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..
Ab                       Db
dancing, dancing all the day.
                       Gb       Eb       Ab
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing 
             Db
all my cares away.

#3.
Gb      Db            Ab       Fm
Then he tapped and he stitched for his fingers 
       Db                      Ab                Db
were bewitched..and he sewed a dream, into every seam.
Gb     Db            Ab    Ebm       Db
Making shoes, oh, so neat, just like magic on her feet..
                   Ab                      Db
and he hoped she'd know, that he loved her so.

#4.
Db                                Eb    
But she danced, danced, danced as though she were 
  Ebm             Ab                           Db
entranced..like a spinning top, all around the shop..
Gb     Db     Gb        Eb               Ab
on her dainty feet, she whirled into the street..
       Eb        Ab                  Db
and he heard her say, as she danced away..

CHORUS:
Db                     Gb                Ab
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing, 
                Db
dancing all the day.
Db                     Gb       Eb       Ab
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing 
              Db
all my cares away.

CHORUS:
  Em        D                      G
I want some shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..
A                        D
dancing, dancing all the day.
                       G        E        A
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing 
             D
all my cares away.

OUTRO:
D                      G        E        A
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing..dancing 
              D
all my cares away.
E       G             D  G D
Dancing all my cares away.
