Ashley McBryde - The Jacket: chords

         E             B      F#       B
It's got a hole in the elbow, bandana pocket
 E             B                F#
Silver button missin' from the snap at the bottom
          E                 B
I said, "That thing's seen better days,
 F#                B
Daddy, you should toss it"
 E            B        F#
And he said "Darlin I can’t"

Chorus:
               E            B           F#
This thing is two-thousand bonfires, I hitchhiked
     B
to Boulder
          E          B         F#
It's kept a million raindrops off your mama's
shoulders
     E           B         F#            B
My heart on my sleeve, my life in these patches
          E                 B               F#
Then he wrapped his arms around me in that old
F#         E B F# E B F#
Jean jacket

It's been a bed for a hound dog, a picnic blanket
There's blood on the collar from a punk who tried
to take it from me
Seen Willie Nelson play four or five states
The best thing Levi ever made

Chorus:
We strung four miles of barbed wire in Corinth,
Mississippi
Spent a night in county jail with an old drunk
and a hippie
It's my heart on the sleeve, it's my life in
these patches
With his arms wrapped around me in that old jean
jacket


E                 B           F#         B
It ain't much to look at, but he let me have it
            E               B               F#
So I could feel his arms around me in that old
