Coat Of Many Colors Dolly Parton - With Lyrics Chords

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ .
[Bb] Back through the years I go wondering once again, back to the seasons [Eb] of my youth.
I [Bb] recall a box of rags that someone gave us, _ and how my mama put the [Eb] rags to use.
There [Bb] were rags of many colors, 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] So in every piece with love she [Bb] made my coat of many colors that [F] I was [Bb] so proud of.
As she sewed she told a story from the Bible she had read, about a coat of many colors.
[F] Joseph Warren then she said, [Bb] perhaps this coat will bring you [Eb] good luck and happiness.
And [Bb] I just couldn't wait to wear it, [F] and mama blessed it [Bb] with a kiss.
_ [Eb] My coat of many colors [Bb] that mama made for me, [Eb] made only from rags [Bb] I wore it so [F] proudly.
_ _ [Bb] Although we had no money, [Eb] I was rich as I could be, in my [Bb] coat of many colors my [F] mama [Bb] made for me.
_ _ .
[G] _ _ _ [C] So with patches on my breeches, and 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] my mama [C] made 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 mama [F] told me why she sewed.
[C] And my coat of many colors was [G] worth more than all [C] their clothes.
But they [F] didn't understand [C] it and I tried to make them see, [F] that one is only poor if [C] they choose [G] to be.
_ .
[C] Now I know we had no money, [F] but I was rich as I could be, [C] in my coat of many colors my [G] mama [F] made for me.
[C] Made just for me.
