Like a Coat From the Cold

C   G/B   Am - Am7/G - D/F# - G   F   G7

C   G/B   Am - Am7/G - D/F# - G   F   G7


        C  G/B      Am   Am7/G F      G   C       G
I found comfort and courage in bottles of whiskey,
      Am    Am7/G   F                 D7/F#          G7
But I swear to you, friend, that that life is pretty risky.
       C    G/B    Am     Am7/G F    G           C      G
I have backed away quickly from those that would burn me
    Am      Am7/G F         D7/F#         G
And stopped up my ears that no one should learn me.


        F G    C              F   G      C
But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen
   Dm              G            F    G        C   G/B   Am - Am7/G - D/F# - G   F   G7
To walk through my life, like a coat from the cold.

I have flown like a bird from each cage that confined me
And broken every one of the ties that would bind me.
I have danced me around some sad old situations,
Taken up my share of those sweet invitations.

        F G    C              F   G      C
But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen
   Dm              G            F    G        C   G/B   Am - Am7/G - D/F# - G
To walk through my life, like a coat from the cold.
   Dm              G            F    G        C   G/B   Am - Am7/G - D/F# - G   F   C
To walk through my life, like a coat from the cold.

(Words and music by Guy Clark, 1974)
