1. Take this coat and put it on
you on this autumn day,

it
will keep you warm and dry while it’s wet and grey.
G D A
I found it near a chapel in a
vivid dream,
G D D A D
take the fabric of
that jacket, doubt not it is clean.

2. Take this coat,
it’s like another my mother gave me
D A D A
when
I was just a boy, hands fade the mystery.
G D A
I wore it to the chapel and
the farthest hill,
G D D A D
take
the fabric of that jacket I am wearing still.

3. Take this coat now, I implore you and put it on,
D A - D A
it is
damp outside and cold, summer is
long gone.
G D A
You might wear it to the
chapel as the bells sound,
G D D A
D
take
the fabric of that jacket found on holy ground.
