Chords for Coat of Many Colors - (Cover) - Dolly Parton

[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons [Db] of my youth
I [Ab] 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
And [Eb] it was way down in the fall
[Ab] Mama sewed the rags together
[Db] Sewing every piece with love
She [Ab] made my coat of many colors
[Eb] That I was [Ab] so proud of
[Eb] [Ab] 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 you
[Db] Good luck and happiness
And I [Ab] just couldn't wait to wear it
And [Eb] mama blessed it [Ab] with a kiss
_ [Db] My coat of many colors
That [Ab] my mama made for me
[Db] Made only from rags
But [Ab] I wore it so [Eb] proudly
_ Although [Ab] we had no money
Well [Db] I was rich as I could be
In [Ab] my coat of many colors
[Eb] My mama made [Ab] for me
[Eb] And so [Ab] with patches on my breeches
And holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
[Eb] I hurried off to school
[Ab] Just to find the others laughing
[Db] And making fun of me
In [Ab] my coat of many colors
[Eb] My mama made [Ab] for me
[Eb] And now [Ab] I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them all the love
My [Eb] mama sewed in every stitch
And [Ab] I told them all the story
Mama [Db] told me while she sewed
And how [Ab] my coat of many colors
Was [Eb] worth more than [Ab] all their clothes
[Db] They didn't understand it
And [Ab] I tried to make them see
[Db] That one is only poor
Only [Ab] if they [Eb] choose to be
Now [Ab] I know we had no money
But [Db] I was rich as I could be
In [Ab] my coat of many colors
[Eb] My mama [Ab] made for [Eb] me
[Ab] Made jeans for me _ _ _ _ _ _
