  			Bm     Em        Bm  Em 
We were lovers once long ago 
Bm                  Em         Am         /G                      
Walking through cold city streets like lovers do 
Bm       Em 
Stopped inside a market 
Bm             Em 
Kissed behind a stall 
Bm                       Em 
Someone said you'd better move on 
              Am       D/F#   G   D/F#   C   Am7 
If you're not buying at all 

Bm           Em         Bm           Em 
Then I saw the winter coat hanging on the rack 
Bm                  Em 
I thought about that winter coat 
Am            /G 
Hanging on my back 
Bm              Em 
So you helped me try it on 
Bm            Em 
It was just my size 
Bm                  Em 
Then you bought that coat for me 
      Am              D/F#    G 
After haggling over the price 

D/F#        Em    C         G   D  C 
Now when it's chilly Up in these cold cold hills 
D         E C       G 
I just put on my winter coat 
D/F#     Em    Bm    Em 
My winter coat 
Bm        Em   Bm   Am  /G 
Keeps me warm 

Bm        Em 
Years have come along 
Bm        Em 
Years have gone 
Bm               Em 
Some friends have risen 
Am             /G 
Some have moved on 
Bm        Em 
And my old winter coat still 
Bm              Em 
Hangs by my front door 
Bm             Em 
Holding all the stories 
          Am      D/F#   G 
I don't remember anymore 
D/F#            Em 
And when it gets freezing 
C          G  D  C 
Up in these cold cold hills 
D         E C      G 
I just put on my winter coat 
D/F#      Em    Bm   Em 
My winter coat 
Bm        Em 
Keeps me warm 

Bm   Em  Am  /G 

Bm        Em 
My winter coat 
Bm        Em 
My winter coat 
Bm        Em 
My winter coat 
Bm        Em 
My winter coat
