	C
	Back through the years I go wondering once again

	F
Back to the seasons of my	youth

	C
I reca	ll a box of rags someone gave us

	F
And how my mamma put those rags to u	se

	C
There were	rags of many Colors and every piece was small

	G	G
And I didn't have a coat and it was	way down in the f	all

	C	F
Mamma s	ewed the rags together she sewied	ever piece with love

	C	G	C
She made my	coat of many Colors	I was so proud	of

	C
As she	sewed she told the story from the bible she had read

	G
About a coat of many Colors Joseph	wore and then she said

	C	F
P	erhaps this coat will bring you good l	ove and happiness

	C
And I just	couldn't wait to wear it

	G	C
As mamma b	lessed it with a	kiss

	F	C
My	coat of many Colors that my	mamma made for me

	F	C	G
	Made from only rags but I	wore it so pro	udly

	C	F
though we	didn't have much money oh I was	rich as I could be

	C	G	C
In my	coat of many Colors my	mamma made for	me

	C
	So with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes

	G
In my coat of many Colors well I	started off to school

	C	F
Just to	find the children laughing and	makin' fun of me

	C	G	C
In my	coat of many Colors my	mamma made for	me

	C
N	ow I didn't understand it for I felt that I was rich

	G
And I told them of the love my mamma	sewed in ever stitch

	C	F
	All about the story mamma	told me while she sewed

	C
And how my	coat of many Colors

	G	C
WAs worth	more than all of their	gold

	F	C
They	didn't under stand it and I	tried to make them see

	F	C	G
	One's only poor only	if you choose to	be

	C	F	C
We didnt	have no money but	I'm as rich as I could	be

	C	G	C
In my	coat of many Colors my	mamma made for	me

	C	G	F	C
In my	coat of many Colors my	mamma made just for	me
