Like A Coat From The Cold Chords by Jerry Jeff Walker

[C#] _ _ [G#] _ [A#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _
_ [G#] _ _ _ I [C#] found comfort and [A#m] courage _ [C#] _ [F#] in bottles of [C#] whiskey.
_ [G#] _ [A#m] I swear [Fm] to you, old [F#] friend, _ that [D#] old high life sure gets [G#] [Fm] risky.
_ [C#] I've [G#] walked away [A#m] lonely [C#] from _ [F#] those I thought would [C#] burn me.
_ [G#] _ [A#m] I've blocked up [F#] my ears so that [D#] no one could [G#] learn me.
_ [F#] But the [G#] lady _ [C#] beside me is the [F#] one [G#] _ [C#] I've chosen.
Who _ [D#m] ought to [G#] laugh with me [F#] like a [G#] cold, [F#] frowned [C#] coal.
_ [Fm] _ [C#] _ [A#m] _ _
[C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#] _ _ I [C#] have flown [G#] like a [A#m] bird _ [C#] from [F#] every cage that can [C#] find me.
[G#] _ _
[A#m] _ [Fm] I've broken [F#] every one of the [D#] ties [G#] that would bind me.
[C#] And I have [G#] danced me [A#m] around [C#] _ [F#] all those sad, old, sad, old [C#] situations.
[G#] I've [A#m]
taken [C#] my [F#] share of [D#] those sweet _ [G#] invitations.
[Fm] _ But the [F#] _
[G#] lady [C#] beside me [F#] is the one [G#] _ [C#] I've chosen.
Who [D#m] ought to [G#] laugh with me [F#] like a [G#] cold, frowned [C#] coal.
[Fm] _ [G#] _ [A#m] _ _
[C#] _ _ [F#] _ [A#m] _ [G#] _ [Fm] _ [G#] But [F#] the [G#] lady _ [C#] beside me is [F#] the one [G#] _ [C#] I've chosen. _ _
[D#] Now [D#m] ought to [G#] laugh with her _ [F#] like a [G#] cold, [F#] frowned [C#] coal.
