Chords for Coat of Many Colors ~ Dolly Parton ~ cover by Heather Berry-Mabe

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Back through the years I go wandering once again
Back to the season of [Eb] my youth
I [Bb] recall a box of rags someone gave us
And how my mama put [Eb] the rags to use
There [Bb] were rags of many colors and 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] Sewing every piece with love
She [Bb] made my coat of many colors [F] that I was [Bb] so proud of
While 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 mama made for [Eb] me
Made only from rags [Bb] but I wore it [F] so proudly
_ _ [Bb]
Although we had no money [Eb] I was rich as I could be
[Bb] And my coat of many colors my mama made for me
[G] _ _ _ [C] Sewing patches [G] on my breeches and holding both my shoes
And my coat of many colors I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing [F] and making fun of [G] me
And my coat of many colors my mama made for me
Oh I couldn't understand it for I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love my mama [G] sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the story [C] mama told me while she [G] sewed
And how my coat of many colors was worth more than all their clothes
But [C] they couldn't understand it and I [G] tried to make them see
[C] One is only poor only if they [G] choose to be
_ Now I know we had no money [C] but I was rich as I could be
[G] And my coat of many colors my mama made for [C] me
And [G] my coat of many colors my mama [C] made for me
Just for [G] me _ _ _ _
