by Anders Parker


Winter Coat
From the 2006 Album "Anders Parker"

Standard tuning, no capo

Intro: open strumming 

[  ]it's getting cold outside and the [  ]leaves are falling down
[  ]the days are shorter now as the [  ]shadows have grown long
[  ]around this time of year the [  ]landscape starts to change
[  ]soon the snow will come and the [  ]drifts will fill the days

[  ]then you'll [ G ]have to find your [  ]winter coat
[  ]hat and gloves and [  ]scarf and boots
[  ]stay [  ]inside until the [  ]winter's gone
[  ]spring will come and [  ]be reborn
[  ]ah [  ]ah
[  ]ah [  ]ah

[ Am ]it's that time of year when the [ C ]green goes in the ground
[ Em ]blazing out in glory killing [ C ]time until the sound
[ Am ]of melting ice and snow and the [ C ]wind and rain and sun
[ Em ]that time is months away under [ C ]mother nature’s thumb

[ C ]now you'll [ G ]have to find your [ F ]winter coat
[ G ]hat and gloves your [ F ]scarf go up
[ C ]stay [ G ]inside all [ F ]winter long
[ G ]or find a river to [ F ]skate away on
[  ]ah [  ]ah
[  ]ah [  ]ah

chorus chords over solo
[  ]ah [  ]ah
[  ]ah [  ]ah

end with open strumming in Am

Notes: strum each chord once on the first line of the chorus.  The G and F in the chorus 
better (and make for easy sliding) if you play barre chords.
