verse 1:
B F#
I've got a very troubled mind
B E
Ten feet to go, ten feet behind.
B F#
and I know I'll get my time.
E F# B
but its a long way down the line.
F# B
lately I'm scared of being alive.
E B F#
I've got my own dog barking when I walk inside.
F# B
what's the use of holding in my pride
E F#
I've only got one shot at being alive.
E B
I'm in some head high water.
E B
Whiskey wallow.
E B F#
I told my father I'd carry on his name
E B
with my sons and daughters.
E B
raise them taller.
E B F#
and I hang my head beneath the tin roof rain
E F# B
when I get through these fur coat blues.
verse 2:
B F#
I though awhile about what to do
B E
I had me a case of them fur coat blues
B F#
But that ain't nothin' new
E F# B
I’ve been here a time or two
F# B
Lately I'm scared of being alive
E B F#
I’ve got this hesitation and it's running wild

But what's the use of living in doubt
E F#
I’ve only got one shot Till my time runs out
E B
I'm in some head high water.
E B
Whiskey wallow.
E B F#
I told my father I'd carry on his name
E B
with my sons and daughters.
E B
raise them taller.
E B F#
and I hang my head beneath the tin roof rain
E F# B
when I get through these fur coat blues.

These fur coat blues
