Sell Me A Coat

Lyrics and music by David Bowie

If you should play the song with only a guitar it's better to play 
the chords as I've written them after the song and it sounds good 
if you plays the strings as bass notes in the chords (like the intro).
The bass plays a C over almost the whole verses 
exept over the G D D7 part over 'on my face' and 'steps away'
but I haven't written the bassnotes in the verse.
The D,D7,D6 run in the intro isn't played for the verses 
and should be replaced by just strumming the chords.

The "C-B-A-B-G" chord combination in the chorus is played like this:
E-3-3-3-3-3-
B-3-3-3-3-3-
G-0-0-2-0-0-
D-0-0-0-0-0-
A-3-2-0-2-2-
E---------3-

INTRO

VERSE1
     Gsus4 G    Dsus4  G
A winter's day.
         Gsus4      G     D     D7
A bitter snow flake on my face
   Gsus4  G    G/D  G
My summer girl
             Gsus4    G     D     D7
takes little backward steps away.
Em
Jack Frost took her hand and left me,
C          Em       Am   Am7
Jack Frost ain't so cool.

CHORUS
G         Bm        C- B -  A- B- G
Sell me a coat with buttons of silver,
          Bm          D7     G
Sell me a coat that's red or gold,
          Bm        C-B -  A  -  B- G
Sell me a coat with little patch pockets,
          Bm          D7     G      
Sell me a coat 'cause I feel cold.

C  F  Gsus4/C  G/B  Dsus4/A  G/B

VERSE2
    Gsus4    G    Dsus4  G
And when she smiles,
         Gsus4      G    D     D7
 the ice forgets to melt away,
    Gsus4 G    Dsus4  G
Not like before   
    Gsus4     G            D     D7        
Her smile was warm in yesterday;
Em
See the trees like silver candy,
C       Em   Am       Am7
feel my icy hands.

CHORUS

  C  F Gsus4/C G/B  Dsus4/A G/B  
E-----------3----3-----5----7---
B-1--1------3----3-----3--------
G-0--2---0-----0----0-----------
D-2--3--------------------------

E-------------------------------

FINAL VERSE
C                D
See my eyes,  my window pane,
C                 D
See my tears like gentle rain,
Gsus4      G/B Dsus4/A G/B     D
That's the memory of a summers day.
