[Intro] | C G/B | Am Am/G D/F# G | F | G C/E G7 | [Verse]
         C  C/B      Am   Am/G   F          C       G
I found comfort and courage and bottles of whiskey

  Am     Am/G    F               D/F#            G
I swear to you friend that that life is some risky

       C      C/B  Am    Am/G   F                C
I have backed away quickly from those that would burn me

    Am       Am/G   F        D/F#             G
And stopped up my ears that no one should learn me
[Chorus]
        F G    C
But the lady beside me

       F   G      C
is the one I have chosen

   Dm     Dm/C    G
to walk through life

       F    G        C
like a coat from the cold
| (C) G/B | Am Am/G D/F# G | F | G C/E G7 | [Verse]
        C    C/B    Am   Am/G   F              C       G
I have flown like a bird from every cage that confined me

  Am     Am/G      F           D/F#        G
and broken every one of the ties that bind me

       C      C/B  Am    Am/G   F                C
I have danced me around some sad ol' sad ol situations

    Am   Am/G   F        D/F#             G
and taken my share of those sweet invitations
[Chorus]
        F G    C
But the lady beside me

       F   G      C
is the one I have chosen

   Dm     Dm/C    G
to walk through life

       F    G        C    
like a coat from the cold
| (C) G/B | Am Am/G D/F# G |
   Dm     Dm/C    G
to walk through life

       F    G        C  
like a coat from the cold
| (C) G/B | Am Am/G D/F# G | F | C
