[A] Dolly Parton, coat [F#m] of many colours, [A] on the pops.
Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of [D] my youth
[A] And I recall the box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mama put the [D] rags to use
There [A] were rags of many colours
But every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it [E] was way down in the fall
[A] Mama sewed the rags together
[D] Sewing every piece with love
[A] She made my coat of many colours
[E] That I was [A] so proud of
And while she sewed she told a story
From the Bible she had read
About a coat of many colours
[E] Joseph wore and then she [A] said
I hope this coat will bring [D] you
Good luck and happiness
[A] And I just couldn't wait to wear it
[E] And mama blessed [A] it with a kiss
[D] My coat of [Bm] many colours
[A] That my mama made for me
[D] Made only [Bm] from rags
[A] But I wore it [E] so proudly
[A] Although we had no money
[D] I was rich as I could be
In [A] my coat of many colours
[E] Mama made [A] for [B] me
So with patches on my breeches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours
[F#] I [B] hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
[E] And making fun of me
And [B] my coat of many colours
[F#] That mama [B] made for me
And oh I couldn't understand that
Because I thought I was rich
And then I told them of the love
My mama sewed in every stitch
And then I told them all the story
[E] Mama told me while she sewed
And [B] why my coat of many colours
Was [F#] worth more than [B] all their clothes
[Em] They didn't understand it
[B] And I tried to make them [E] see
One is only poor
Only [B] if you choose to be
It is true we had no money
[E] But I was rich as I could be
[B] In my coat of many colours
[F#] Mama
