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.

Chorus: 

              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 

F#                      B
But what's the use of living in doubt

E                       F#
I’ve only got one shot Till my time runs out

Chorus: 

              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.

F#              B
These fur coat blues
