You were a ragged 
              D                  
Turquoise and twilight coat  
A
I got my head hung down for you

E
Some day you're gonna need it 
                      D   
But it's worn or the, cloth gets torn 
A                           E
And there's only one way to go 
          D     A
It's gone dead, dead 
                  E
It's gone dead on you

E 
Take off your ragged 
              D 
Turquoise and twilight coat 
A
I got my head hung down for you 
E  
Someday you're gonna need it 
                      D
But it's worn or the, cloth gets torn 
A                               E 
And then there's only on way to go 
           D     A 
It's goin' dead, dead 
           D     A  
It's going dead, dead 
                   E 
It's goin' dead on you
