Two Coats


Capo IV
G
Two coats lay before me, the old and the new
                           D          G
I could have either, which one will I choose;


The first coat is raffed, it looks so torn
                              D          G
The other, a new coat, that's never been worn


Chorus      G
            I'll Tell you the best thing, I ever did do;
                                           D          G
            Was pull off the old coat, and put on the new


The first man was earthly, he was made from the ground;
We bore his image, the whole world around.
And the next man was Jesus, he treats me so fair
He gave me this new coat, you now see me wear


Chorus


Well this new coat it fits me, it keeps me so warm
Its good in the shelter, it's good in the storm
This new coat's by Jesus, he treats me so fair
He gave me this new coat, you now see me wear


Chorus
