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

Take off your old coat
