The Cloak

 
C 
Cold blows the wind 
    F               C 
and hard against my back!" 
C 
Cries the lonesome traveler 
F                   C 
traveling down the track 
 

 
     G                 Am                  F                  C 
"The cold wind and the Sun compete for the cloak that's on my back! 
        G                 Am                  F                  C 
Oh, the cold wind and the Sun compete for the cloak thats on my back." 
 

 
C 
Oh Lord, I can't go back 
F               C 
I can't go back again 

Keep me on a narrow path 
         F                C 
So I can see the light again 
 

 
        G                 Am                  F                  C 
For the cold wind and the Sun compete for the cloak thats on my back 
        G                 Am                  F                  C 
Oh, the cold wind and the Sun compete for the cloak that's on my back 
 

 
C 
Bitter are the winter days 
       F                C 
In the years of looking back 
C 
Rain beats down upon my face 
         F                     C 
Like the tears for the love I lack 
 

 
        G                 Am                  F                  C 
And the cold wind and the Sun compete for the cloak that's on my back 
        G                 Am                  F                  C 
Oh, the cold wind and the Sun compete for the cloak that's on my back 
 

 
C 
Salt to keep the wound alive 
        F               C 
And the meat from going bad 
C 
On e man's gain is another's loss 
        F               C 
And now loss is all he has 
 

 
        G                 Am                  F                  C 
For the cold wind and the Sun compete for the cloak that's on my back 
        G                 Am                  F                  C 
Oh, the cold wind and the Sun compete for the cloak that's on my back
