Coat of Many Colors Chords by Dolly Parton

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons [Eb] of my youth
I [Bb] recall a box of rags that someone gave us _
And how my mama put the [Eb] rags to use
There [Bb] were rags of many colors
But every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it [F] was way down in the fall
[Bb] Mama sewed the rags together
[Eb] So in every piece with love
She [Bb] made my coat of many colors
That [F] I was [Bb] so proud of
As she sewed she told a story
From the Bible she had read
About a coat of many colors
[F] Joseph wore and then she said
[Bb] Perhaps this coat will bring you
[Eb] Good luck and happiness
And [Bb] I just couldn't wait to wear it
[F] And mama blessed it [Bb] with a kiss
[Eb] My coat of many colors
[Bb] That my mama made for me
[Eb] Made only from red [Bb] I wore it so [F] proudly
_ Although [Bb] we had no money
[Eb] I was rich as I could be
[Bb] In my coat of many colors
[F] My mama [Bb] made for me _
[G] _ _ _ [C] So with patches on my breeches
And holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
[G] I hurried off to school
[C] Just to find the others laughing
[F] And making fun of me
In [C] my coat of many colors
[G] My mama [C] made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them all the love
My mama [G] sewed in every stitch
And [C] I told them all the story
[F] Mama told me what she [C] sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was [G] worth more than [C] all their clothes
But [F] they didn't understand [C] it
And I tried to make them see
[F] That one is only poor
[C] Only if they choose [G] to be
Now [C] I know we had no money
[F] But I was rich as I could be
In my [C] coat of many colors
[G] My mama [F] made for me
Made [C] just for me _ _
