Chords for Shania Twain And Alison Krauss - Coat Of Many Colors

_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back through the seasons [Db] of my youth
[Ab] I recall a box of rags someone gave us
And how my mama put the [Db] rags to use
[Ab] There were rags of many colors and every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat [Eb] and it was way down in the fall
[Ab] Mama sewed the rags together, [Db] sewing every piece with [Ab] love
She made my coat of many colors [Eb] that I was [Ab] so proud of
As she sewed she told a story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many colors, [Eb] Joseph wore and then she said
[Ab] Perhaps this coat will bring [Db] you good luck and happiness
[Ab] And I just couldn't wait to wear [Eb] it and mama blessed it [Ab] with a kiss
[Db] And my coat of many colors [Ab] that my mama made for me
[Db] Made only from rags [Ab] but I wore it [Eb] so proudly
_ [Ab] Although we had no money [Db] I was rich as I could [Ab] be
And my coat of many colors [Eb] my mama [Ab] made for me
_ [F] _
_ Sewed with patches on my breeches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors I hurried off to [Bb] school
Just to find [F] the others laughing [Eb] and making fun of [Bb] me
In my coat [F] of many colors my mama made for me
And I just couldn't understand it or I felt I was rich
And I told them all the love my mama sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the stories [Eb] mama told me while she sewed
And [Bb] how my coat of many colors [F] was worth more than all their clothes
But [Eb] they didn't understand [Bb] it and I tried to make them see
[Eb] That one is only [Bb] poor only if [F] they choose to be
_ [Bb] And I know we had no money [Eb] I was rich as I could be
[Bb] In my coat of many colors my mama [Eb] made for me
Made [Bb] just for me _ _ _ _ _ _ _
