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

Bm        Em
My winter coat
Bm        Em

Bm        Em
