CAPO: 6th Fret



[Intro]
C   Am   C   Am

[Verse 1]
F                                     G          Am
Grandaddy look at the gypsies dancing in the firelight
        F        G
Burning so brightly
                            F              G
How do they keep themselves warm on such a night?


[Verse 2]
F                                      G            Am
See all the fiddlers twirling while he plays his violin
             F    G
Laughing and shouting
                       F               G
Have you seen anything like it in your life?


[Verse 3]
Am                                        D
Grandma would scold and chide when we got in
       Am                                         D
She'll wanna know what we've done and where we've been
G                       F                   G                  Am
Promise me you'll never tell, you know your secret's safe with me
         F    G
I can be trusted


[Chorus]
Bb
Wrap me up in your winter coat
Dm            C
Wrap me up so tight
Bb
I never will feel the cold
C              Dm       C  Dm    C  Dm
I'll be warm tonight____


[Verse 4]
F                                         G                  Am
Can we go down to the railroad tracks and watch the train go by?
             F  G
Shining like silver
                        F                G
I hear the whistle, the train is on it's way


[Verse 5]
F                                  G             Am
Hold me over your shoulder so that I can see the light
         F    G
Over the pine trees
                       F              G
How I would like to go riding on that train


[Verse 6]
Am                                               D
Tell me the story again about the time you went away
    Am                                     D
You went to Chicago, no one knew where you were
G                     F               G            Am
Why did you ever come back here after you had run away?
                F    G
I'm so glad you did, sir


[Chorus]
Bb
Wrap me up in your winter coat
Dm            C
Wrap me up so tight
Bb
I never will feel the cold
C              Dm       C  Dm    C  Dm
I'll be warm tonight____


[Verse 7]
F                                      G               Am
Grandaddy tell me the names of all the stars up in the sky
           F  G
Is there a heaven?
                        F             G
Do you think there is a life after we die?


[Verse 8]
F                                        G               Am
Why do some people have all the gold and silver they can spend?
            F   G
Others have nothing
                              F        G
It isn't fair and I've always wondered why


[Verse 9]
Am                                        D
Can I hold the match while you light your pipe?
  Am                               D
I love the smell of tobacco in the air
G                   F            G              Am
Tell me again about how it was before I came to be
           F   G
In the old country
F                                           G
When you were young and you sailed upon the sea


[Chorus]
Bb
Wrap me up in your winter coat
Dm            C
Wrap me up so tight
Bb
I never will feel the cold
C              Dm       C  Dm    C  Dm
I'll be warm tonight____


[Chorus]
Bb
Wrap me up in your winter coat
Dm            C
Wrap me up so tight
Bb
I never will feel the cold
C              Dm
I'll be warm tonight____

I'll be safe tonight
