Chords for Jennifer Ewbank - Coat of many colors | Cover 1/7 | #SundayWinterSessions

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Back through the years I go wondering once again
_ Back through the seasons of [Eb] my youth
I'd [Bb] recall the box of rags someone gave us
_ And how my mama poured the [Eb] rags to use
[Bb] There were rags of many colours
And 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] Sewing every piece with love
She made my [Bb] coat of many colours
That [F] I was so [Bb] proud of _
[Eb] My coat of many colours
[Bb] That my mama made for me
[Eb] Made only from [Bb] rags
But I wore it so [F] proudly
_ [Bb] And I know we had no money
[Eb] But I was rich as I could be
In [Bb] my coat of many colours
My [F] mama made for [Bb] me _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ Sewed with patches on my breeches
And holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And [C] making fun of me
In [G] my coat of many colours
My mama made for me
Oh I could not understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them all to love
My mama [G] sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the story
Mama told me [C] why she sewed
And how my coat of many colours
Was worth more than all of their clothes
[C] They didn't understand it
And [G] I tried to make them [C] see
That one is only poor
[G] Only if they choose to [G] be _
And I know we had no money
[C] But I was rich as I could be
In my [G] coat of many colours
My mama made for [C] me
Made just [C] for me _
