sell me a coat

a winter’s day ,
G/C C G D D7 C G/C Am7/C
a bitter snowflake on my face , my summer girl

G/C C G/C D D7
takes little backward steps away

Em C Am Am7
jack frost took her hand and left me , jack frost ain’t so cool .

G C G
sell me a coat with buttons of silver ,

G D C G
sell me a coat that’s red or gold ,

D C G
sell me a coat with little patch pockets ,

D C G C F Am7/C G/B Am G/B
sell me a coat ’cause i feel cold .

C G/C Am7/C G C G D D7
and when she smiles , the ice forgets to melt away ,

C G/C Am7/C G C G D D7
not like before her smile was warm in yesterday .

Em C Am Am7
see the trees like silver candy , feel my icy hands .

sell me a coat with buttons of silver ,

sell me a coat that’s red or gold ,

sell me a coat with little patch pockets ,

sell me a coat ’cause i feel cold .

C D C D
see my eyes , my window pane , see my tears like gentle rain ,

C/E G/D Gsus4 G/D D
that’s the mem – o – ry of a summer’s day .

chorus .
