 {eot}
 made just for me (Or finish with A chord for last note)
 
 [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
