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