                        THE JACKET
                      ASHLEY McBRYDE

CAPO: NONE

INTRO:
E  B  F#
E  B  F#

VERSE:
         E             B      F#       B
It`s got a hole in the elbow, bandana pocket
 E             B                F#
Silver button missin` from the snap at the bottom
          E                 B
I said, `That thing`s seen better days,
 F#                B
Daddy, you should toss it`
 E            B        F#
And he said `Darlin I can???t`

CHORUS:
               E            B           F#            B
This thing is two-thousand bonfires, I hitchhiked to Boulder
          E          B         F#
It`s kept a million raindrops off your mama`s shoulders
     E           B         F#            B
My heart on my sleeve, my life in these patches
          E                 B               F#
Then he wrapped his arms around me in that old
F#            E  B  F#     E  B  F#
  Jean jacket


VERSE:
          E             B       F#           B
It`s been a bed for a hound-dog,  a picnic blanket
  E                   B
There`s blood on the collar
        F#
From a punk who tried to take it from me
 E           B           F#            B
Seen Willie Nelson play four or five states
 E                       F#
The best thing Levi ever made


CHORUS:
           E             B              F#             B
We strung four miles of barbed wire in Corinth, Mississippi
         E               B            F#
Spent a night in county jail with an old drunk and a hippy
          E            B              F#            B
It`s my heart on the sleeve, it`s my life in these patches
          E              B               F#
With his arms wrapped around me in that old
F#            E  B  F#     E  B  F#
  Jean jacket


OUTRO:
E                 B           F#         B
It ain`t much to look at, but he let me have it
            E               B               F#
So I could feel his arms around me in that old
