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. 


[Refrão]

              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

These fur coat blues
