Coat of Many Colors - Dolly Parton

Capo 2 (Or adjust Capo if nesscessary)


G
Back through the years

I go wonderin once again
                          C
Back to the seasons of my youth
    G
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
                              C
And how my momma put the rags to use

           G
There were rags of many colors

Every piece was small

And I didnt have a coat
           D
And it was way down in the fall
      G
Momma sewed the rags together
      C
Sewin every piece with love
            G
She made my coat of many colors
     D        G
That I was so proud of


As she sewed, she told a story

From the bible, she had read

About a coat of many colors
       D
Joseph wore and then she said
G
Perhaps this coat will bring you
     C
Good luck and happiness
           G
And I just couldnt wait to wear it
          D                 G
And momma blessed it with a kiss


   C
My coat of many colors
        G
That my momma made for me
     C
Made only from rags
      G          D
But I wore it so proudly
  G
Although we had no money
      C
I was rich as I could be
      G
In my coat of many colors
   D              G
My momma made for me

        A
So with patches on my britches

Holes in both my shoes

In my coat of many colors
  E
I hurried off to school
        A
Just to find the others laughing
    D
And making fun of me
      A
In my coat of many colors
   E              D
My momma made for me

         A
And oh I couldnt understand it

For I felt I was rich

And I told them of the love
         E
My momma sewed in every stitch
      A
And I told em all the story
      D
Momma told me while she sewed
           A
And how my coat of many colors
          E                   A
Was worth more than all their clothes
  
         D
But they didnt understand it
      A
And I tried to make them see
     D
That one is only poor
     A                 E
Only if they choose to be
      A
Now I know we had no money
          D
But I was rich as I could be
      A
In my coat of many colors
   E              D        A*
My momma made for me
