Back through [Gm] the years [Bb] I go on brand new again. _
Back to the [Eb] seasons of my youth.
And [Bb] I recall the box of rags that someone gave us.
And how my mama [Gm] put the [Eb] rags to [Cm] use.
[Bb] There were rags of many colors, but every piece was small.
I didn't have a coat, and [F] it was way down [Dm] in the fall.
[Bb] Mama sewed the rags together, so in every [Eb] piece with love
she [Bb] made my coat of many colors [F] that I was so [Bb] proud of.
While mama 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] I hope this coat will bring [Fm] you [Eb] good luck and happiness.
And I [Bb] just couldn't wait to wear it, and [F] mama blessed it [Bb] with a kiss.
[Dm] [Eb] My coat of many colors that [Bb] my mama made for me.
[Eb] Made only from rags, [Bb] but I wore it [F] so proudly.
_ [Bb] Although we had no money, I [Eb] was rich as I could be.
In [Bb] my coat of many colors, [F] mama [Bb] made for me.
[Am] _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ So with patches on my breeches, holes in both my shoes.
In my coat of many colors, well [G] I hurried off to school.
Just [C] to find the others laughing [F] and making fun of me.
[C] In my coat of many colors, [G] mama made [C] for me.
And oh I couldn't understand that, cause I felt I was rich.
And then I told them of the love my [G] mama sewed in every stitch.
[C] I even told them all that story [F] mama told me while she sewed.
And [C] then I told them why my coat of many colors was [G] worth more than [C] all their clothes.
_ [Am] [F] They didn't understand it [C] and I tried to make them see.
[F] One is only poor [C] only if they [G] choose to be.
Oh yeah [C] it's true we had no money, but [F] I was rich as I could be.
In [C] my coat of many colors, [G] mama [F] made for me.
Made [C] just for me. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
