Start Jamming...
I just wanted to make mention of that.
Of course [E] my mom was always like me, she [F] never shut up.
[Ebm] She didn't know how.
She was a big hearted [N] person there.
Everybody loved her.
She could just tell you anything and make it sound good.
She could cook anything and make it taste good.
She could sew anything, make it look pretty good.
Even if it wasn't.
From a bunch of scraps.
[F] True story.
And I always thank my mom and daddy.
I lost mom and daddy both just a few years back.
And I always feel like [E] they're watching me.
So we'll dedicate this to all the good mommas and daddies that you have with us [Db] tonight.
And this goes like [B] this.
[Bb]
[F] [Bb]
Through the years I go wondering once again.
Back to the seasons [Eb] of my youth.
And I [Bb] recall a box of rags that someone gave us.
And how my mama put the rags [Eb] to use.
There [Bb] were rags of many colors.
But every piece was small.
And I didn't have a coat.
[F] And it was way down in the ball.
[Bb] Mama sewed the rags together.
[Eb] Sewing every piece with love.
She made [Bb] my coat of many colors.
[F] That I was [Bb] so proud of.
While mama sewed she told a story.
From the bible she had read.
About a coat of many colors.
[F] Joseph wore it and then she said.
[Bb] I hope this coat of rags gives [Eb] good luck and happiness.
And I [Bb] just couldn't wait to wear it.
And [F] mama blessed it [Bb] with a kiss.
[Eb] My coat of many colors that my mama [Bb] made for me.
[Eb] Made only from rags.
[Bb] But I wore it [F] so proudly.
[Bb] And although we had no money.
I [Eb] was rich as I could be.
In [Bb] my coat of many colors.
[Dm] Mama [Bb] made for me.
[G] [C] Sewed patches on my breeches.
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] Mama [C] made for me.
And oh I couldn't understand that.
Cause I felt I was rich.
And I told her of the love.
[G] Mama sewed it every stitch.
[C] I even told them all that story.
[F] Mama told me while she sewed it.
[C] Why my coat of many colors.
Was [G] worth more than all their [C] clothes.
[F] They didn't understand it.
[C] And I tried to make them see.
[F] One is [G] only [F] poor.
[Em] Only if [G] they choose to be.
It's [C] true we had no money.
[F] But I was rich as I could be.
[C] In my coat of many colors.
[G] Mama [F] made for me.
Cause [C] she made just for me.
[Ab] [Eb] [B]
