Back through the years I go wandering once again
Back to the seasons [D] of my youth _ [A] I recall a box of rice that someone gave us
And how my mama put the [D] rice to use _ [A] There were rice of many colors
And every piece was small And I didn't have a coat
And [E] it was way down in the fall [A] Mama sewed the rice together
[D] Sewing every piece with love She [A] made my coat of many colors
[E] That I was [A] so proud of _ As she sewed she told a story
From the bible she had read About a coat of many colors
And it turned [E] just a horn And she said
[A] Perhaps this coat will bring you [D] Good luck and happiness
And [A] I just couldn't wait to wear it [E] And mama blessed it [A] with a kiss
_ [D] My coat of many colors [A] That my mama made for me
[D] Made only from rice [A] I wore it so [E] proudly

[F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ So we patched on my breeches And holed my boat shoes
In my coat of many colors [F] I hurried off to school
[Bb] Just to find the others laughing [Eb] And making fun of me
In [Bb] my coat of many colors [F] My mama made [Bb] for me
_ Oh I couldn't understand it For I felt I was rich

And how [Bb] my coat of many colors Was [F] worth more than all [Bb] of their clothes _
[Eb] They didn't understand it And [Bb] I tried to make them see
[Eb] That one is only poor Only [Bb] if they choose [F] to be _
