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]

Wrap me up in your winter coat

Wrap me up so tight

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]

Wrap me up in your winter coat

Wrap me up so tight

I never will feel the cold

I'll be warm tonight____

I never will feel the cold

I'll be warm tonight____
I'll be safe tonight
