We have an official Coat Of Many Colors tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
So I know it is not perfect but I couldn't find any tutorials or anything anywhere so in order to get
this tab I've watched this video of Dolly playing and I've tried to follow what she's doing. It's kind
of a simplified version but it works for me!

Full Lyrics can be found beneath the tab but I've included the words under certain fingering so you
know how fast/slow to sing along. Enjoy!

1
Back through the years
I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fog
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewing every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
 
2
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
 
BRIDGE 1
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
 
3
So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
 
4
And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the stories
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
 
BRIDGE 2
But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me
