Amelia Blake – Old Brown Overcoat lyrics

Album: Old Horses

A Bm7 C D
A Bm7 C D

A Bm7 D E
I've got an old brown overcoat, I've had it for years
A Bm7 C Bm7
Tattered and torn with the wear and the tear
D F A
It's seen many a winter, weathered many a storm
D A E A
But it's the only one that keeps me really warm

Chorus:

Dm A E F#m
It's (They're) not the latest style but nothing else will do
A Bm7 C Bm7 A Bm7 C D
I hold onto it (them) like I hold on to you

I've worn my old black boots down many a road
They've taken me everywhere I wanted to go
New heels, new soles every now and then
That's all it takes and they're as good as new again

Chorus

Bridge:

D F A A7
Well maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm scared
Bm7 E A
Of anything new - I really, I don't care
Dm A Bm7 A
In an ever-changing world that I don't understand
F E7
I feel like nothing can hurt me when you're holding my hand

I sing the same old songs I could sing in my sleep
I'm counting on them like a treasure I keep
Same tunes, same words and the same old rhymes
But they make me feel good and they stand the test of time

Chorus

A Bm7 C D
I've got an old brown overcoat
A Bm7 C D
My favorite boots
A Bm7 C D A Bm7 C D
You by my side humming my favorite tunes
A Bm7 C D
I've got an old brown overcoat
A Bm7 C D A
Old brown overcoat
