Coat of Many Colors Dolly Parton
[Intro]
[G] [Gsus2] [G] [Gsus2]
[Verse]
[G] Back through the years
I [Gsus2]go w[G]and'rin once agai[Gsus2]n
[G] Back to the [G7]seasons of my youth[Csus2] [C]
I re[G]call a box of rags that s[Gsus]omeone [G]gave us[Gsus2]
[G] And how my momma [G7]put the rags to us[C]e[Csus2]
[Verse 2]
There were [G]rags of many colors[Gsus2]
[G]Every piece was small
[Gsus]And I d[G]idn't have a coat
And it was w[D]ay down in the fall
Momma [G]sewed the rags together
Sewin [C]every piece with love
[Gsus2]She made my [G]coat of many colors
That [D7]I was so proud[G] of
[Verse 3]
[Gsus]As [Gsus2] she s[G]ewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read[Gsus]
About a [G]coat of many colors
Joseph [D]wore and then she said
Per[G]haps this coat will [G7]bring you
Good [C]luck and happiness[Csus2]
And I just [G]couldn't wait to wear it
And momma [D7]blessed it with a[Gsus2] kiss[G]
[Verse 4]
[F/A] M[Bdim]y c[C]oat of many colors
That my [G]ma-ma made for me
[C]Made only from rags
But I [G]wore it so [Dsus]proudly[D7]
Al[G]though we had no money
Well I was [C]rich as I could be[Csus2]
In my [G]coat of many colors
My [D]ma-ma made for me[G] [Gsus]
[Verse 5]
[Asus]So [Asus2] with pa[A]tches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes[Asus]
In my co[A]at of many colors
I h[E]urried off to school
Just to [A]find the others la[A7]ughing
And m[D]aking fun of me[Dsus2]
and my c[A]oat of many colors
My mA[E7]-ma made for me[Asus2] [A]
[Verse 6]
[G/B]And oh[C#dim] I cou[D]ldn't understand it
For I fe[A]lt I was rich
[D]And I told them of the love
My mom[A]ma sewed in[Esus] every [E7]stitch
An[A]d I told em all the story
MA-ma told [D]me while she sewed[Dsus2]
And [A]how my coat of many colors
Was[E] worth more than [A]all the[Asus]ir clothes
[Verse 7]
[G/B]But th[C#dim]ey [D]didn't understand it
And I [A]tried to make them see
That [D]one is only poor
Only i[A]f they choo[Esus]se to b[E7]e
Now I [A]know we had no money
But I was r[D]ich as I could be[Dsus2]
In my [A]coat of many colors
My [E]ma-ma made [A] for[Asus] me
Made j[A]ust for me[Asus]
