[Verse 1]
G Am Bm
It was only an old overcoat
C G D
Faded and worn had seen better days
But when it hung on the stairs I felt safe and warm
As I knew my father was there
I knew my father was home
[Verse 2]
It smelt of tobacco and toil
As it stood like a ghost from the war
G Am Bm C
Guarding us all from the world outside
G D Em
Keeping us safe and warm
G D G
Keeping us from all harm
[Chorus]
Through summer's sweet song the coat stood strong
My life lived without a care
As I laughed and played the coat never strayed
From its place at the foot of the stairs
[Verse 3]
On dark winter nights I would watch down the lane
To see my father trudge home
His tired bones wrapped in the old overcoat
As he fought through the rain and storm
[Verse 4]
I had just turned ten when they laid him to rest
On a grey christmas eve morn
G Am Bm C
Santa never came this way again
And the coat stood lost and forlorn
And the coat stood empty and alone
[Chorus]
C D Bm C
Faces and places slip through my dreams
And memories fade with the dawn
But I still see the coat standing strong
G D G
Keeping us from all harm
[Verse 5]
G Am Bm C
If I had a chance to go back again
To that christmas of long ago
I would wrap the coat around my dad
To keep him safe and warm
To keep him from all harm
[Outro]
G Am Bm
It was only an old overcoat
C G D G
Faded and worn had seen better days
