Take Off Your Old Coat Eliza Gilkyson
INTRO: Em
I've searched in the East
[Am]Searched in the [Em]West
For the [Am]riches that [B7]others were [Em]hoarding
Fortune is a blind god
[C]Smiling in the [G]breeze
And for[Am]getting me on [B7]this side of [Em]Jordan
CHORUS:
[G]Take off your [C]old coat
And[Em] roll up your sleeves
[Am]Life is a [B7]hard road to [Em]travel[Am]
I be[Em]lieve
Thunder in the dark clouds
[Am]Lightening in the [Em]trees
[Am]No shelter a[B7]bove my head af[Em]forded
Battered by the hailstones
[C]Blinded by the [G]breeze
[Am]That's my way of [B7]life this side of [Em]Jordan
CHORUS:
[G]Take off your [C]old coat
And[Em] roll up your sleeves
[Am]Life is a [B7]hard road to [Em]travel[Am]
I be[Em]lieve
INSTRUMENTAL: Em Am Em Am B7 Em C G Am B7 Em
See that ragged owl
His [Am]tattered wings ex[Em]panded
He's [Am]nailed to the [B7]doorway as a [Em]warning
So I'm minded by good folk
[C]As an outlaw [G]branded
[Am]Yet, I've hurt no [B7]one this side of [Em]Jordan
Up above an angel
[Am]Patching up our [Em]plunders
Our [Am]trials and [B7]troubles he's [Em]recording
Will I find a change there
[C]Better times I [G]wonder
[Am]When I reach the [B7]other side of [Em]Jordan
CHORUS:
[G]Take off your [C]old coat
And[Em] roll up your sleeves
[Am]Life is a [B7]hard road to [Em]travel[Am]
I be[Em]lieve
[Am]Life is a [B7]hard road to [Em]travel[Am] [Em]
