Eliza Gilkyson - Take Off Your Old Coat INTRO: Em I've searched in the East

^AmSearched in the ^EmWest For the ^Amriches that ^B7others were ^Emhoarding

Fortune is a blind god

^CSmiling in the ^Gbreeze And for^Amgetting me on ^B7this side of ^EmJordan

CHORUS:

^GTake off your ^Cold coat And^Em roll up your sleeves ^AmLife is a ^B7hard road to ^Emtravel ^Am I be^Emlieve

Thunder in the dark clouds

^AmLightening in the ^Emtrees ^AmNo shelter a^B7bove my head af^Emforded

Battered by the hailstones

^CBlinded by the ^Gbreeze ^AmThat's my way of ^B7life this side of ^EmJordan

CHORUS:

^GTake off your ^Cold coat And^Em roll up your sleeves ^AmLife is a ^B7hard road to ^Emtravel ^Am I be^Emlieve

INSTRUMENTAL: Em Am Em Am B7 Em C G Am B7 Em See that ragged owl

His ^Amtattered wings ex^Empanded He's ^Amnailed to the ^B7doorway as a ^Emwarning

So I'm minded by good folk

^CAs an outlaw ^Gbranded ^AmYet, I've hurt no ^B7one this side of ^EmJordan

Up above an angel

^AmPatching up our ^Emplunders Our ^Amtrials and ^B7troubles he's ^Emrecording

Will I find a change there

^CBetter times I ^Gwonder ^AmWhen I reach the ^B7other side of ^EmJordan

CHORUS:

^GTake off your ^Cold coat And^Em roll up your sleeves ^AmLife is a ^B7hard road to ^Emtravel ^Am I be^Emlieve ^AmLife is a ^B7hard road to ^Emtravel ^Am ^Em
