Coat of Many Colors Dolly Parton
Capo 2 (Or adjust Capo if nesscessary)
[G]Back through the years
I go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of my [C]youth
I re[G]call a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags [C]to use
There were [G]rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didnt have a coat
And it was [D]way down in the fall
Momma [G]sewed the rags together
Sewin [C]every piece with love
She made my [G]coat of many colors
That [D]I was so [G]proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
About a coat of many colors
Joseph [D]wore and then she said
[G]Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good [C]luck and happiness
And I just [G]couldnt wait to wear it
And momma [D]blessed it with a [G]kiss
My [C]coat of many colors
That my [G]momma made for me
Made [C]only from rags
But I [G]wore it so [D]proudly
Al[G]though we had no money
I was [C]rich as I could be
In my [G]coat of many colors
My [D]momma made for [G]me
So with [A]patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I [E]hurried off to school
Just to [A]find the others laughing
And [D]making fun of me
In my [A]coat of many colors
My [E]momma made for [D]me
And oh I [A]couldnt understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma [E]sewed in every stitch
And I [A]told em all the story
Momma [D]told me while she sewed
And how my [A]coat of many colors
Was worth [E]more than all their [A]clothes
But they [D]didnt understand it
And I [A]tried to make them see
That [D]one is only poor
Only [A]if they choose to [E]be
Now I [A]know we had no money
But I was [D]rich as I could be
In my [A]coat of many colors
E D A*
My momma made for me
