Eliza Gilkyson - Take Off Your Old Coat


INTRO: E minorEm


I've searched in the East
A minorAm       E minorEm
Searched in the West
    A minorAm     B7B7     E minorEm
For the riches that others were hoarding


Fortune is a blind god
C majorC       G+G
Smiling in the breeze
    A minorAm      B7B7      E minorEm
And forgetting me on this side of Jordan

CHORUS:
G+G       C majorC
Take off your old coat
  E minorEm
And roll up your sleeves
A minorAm    B7B7      E minorEm   A minorAm
Life is a hard road to travel
  E minorEm
I believe


Thunder in the dark clouds
A minorAm        E minorEm
Lightening in the trees
A minorAm     B7B7       E minorEm
No shelter above my head afforded


Battered by the hailstones
C majorC       G+G
Blinded by the breeze
A minorAm        B7B7        E minorEm
That's my way of life this side of Jordan


CHORUS:
G+G       C majorC
Take off your old coat
  E minorEm
And roll up your sleeves
A minorAm    B7B7      E minorEm   A minorAm
Life is a hard road to travel
  E minorEm
I believe

INSTRUMENTAL: E minorEm  A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm B7B7 E minorEm  C majorC G+G A minorAm B7B7 E minorEm


See that ragged owl
  A minorAm        E minorEm
His tattered wings expanded
   A minorAm      B7B7      E minorEm
He's nailed to the doorway as a warning


So I'm minded by good folk
C majorC      G+G
As an outlaw branded
A minorAm        B7B7        E minorEm
Yet, I've hurt no one this side of Jordan


Up above an angel
A minorAm       E minorEm
Patching up our plunders
  A minorAm     B7B7      E minorEm
Our trials and troubles he's recording


Will I find a change there
C majorC       G+G
Better times I wonder
A minorAm        B7B7      E minorEm
When I reach the other side of Jordan


CHORUS:

G+G       C majorC
Take off your old coat
  E minorEm
And roll up your sleeves
A minorAm    B7B7      E minorEm   A minorAm
Life is a hard road to travel
  E minorEm
I believe
A minorAm    B7B7      E minorEm   A minorAm  E minorEm
Life is a hard road to travel
