Coat of Many Colors Dolly Parton
Intro C F C G
[C]Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my [F]youth
I re[C]call a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags [F]to use
There were [C]rags of many colors Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat And it was [G]way down in the fall
Momma [C]sewed the rags together Sewing [F]every piece with love
She made my [C]coat of many colors That [G]I was so proud [C]of
As she sewed, she told a story From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors Joseph |[G]wore and then she said
Perhaps this |[C]coat will bring you Good |[F]luck and happiness
And I just |[C]couldn't wait to wear it And momma |[G]blessed it with a [C]kiss
My [F]coat of many colors That my [C]momma made for me
Made [F]only from rags But I [C]wore it so [G]proudly
Al[C]though we had no money I was [F]rich as I could be
C G C - D (key up)
In my coat of many colors My momma made for me
Coat of Many Colors - Dolly Parton page 1/2 in C
So with [D]patches on my britches Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors I [A]hurried off to school
Just to f[D]ind the others laughing And [G]making fun of me
In my [D]coat of many colors My [A]momma made for [D]me
And oh I [D]couldn't understand it For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love My momma s[A]ewed in every stitch
And I [D]told em all the story Momma [G]told me while she sewed
And how my [D]coat of many colors Was worth [A]more than all their [D]clothes
(store bought)
But they [G]didn't understand it And I [D]tried to make them see
That [G]one is only poor Only [D]if they choose to [A]be
Now I [D]know we had no money But I was [G]rich as I could be
In my [D]coat of many colors My [A]momma made for [G]me
Made just for [D]me
