Back through the years I go wandering once again
Back to the seasons of [E] my youth
[B] I recall the box of rags someone gave us
And how my mama put the [E] rags to use
They [B] were rags of many colors
Every piece was small and I didn't have a coat
And it was way [F#] down in the fall
And [B] mama sewed the rags together
Sewing [E] every piece with all
She made my coat [B] of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed she told a story
From the Bible she had read
About a coat of many colors
Dressed her [F#] for it and she said
Perhaps [B] this coat will bring you
[E] Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't [B] wait to wear it
And mama blessed it with ease
My [E] coat of many colors
That my mama [B] made for me
[E] Made only from rags
That I wore and sewed [F#] proudly
Although [B] we had no money
[E] I was rich as I could be
My [B] coat of many colors
[F#] My mama made for [B] me
[G] [C] Sewing patches on my breeches
Hose and boots my shoes
And my coat of many colors
[G] And I hurried off to school
Just to [C] find the others laughing
And [F] make fun of me
My coat [C] of many colors
My mama made for me
And I just couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My mama [G] sewed in every stitch
And I [C] told them all the story
[F] Mama told me how she sewed
And how my [C] coat of many colors
Is worth [G] more than [F] all their [C] clothes
But [F] they didn't understand it
And I [C] tried to make them see
That [F] one is only poor
Only [C] if they choose [G] to be
Now [C] I know we had no money
But I was [F] rich as I could be
My [C] coat of many colors
[G] My mama made [F] for me
Made just for me
Back through the years I go wandering once again
Back to the seasons of [E] my youth
[B] I recall the box of rags someone gave us
And how my mama put the [E] rags to use
They [B] were rags of many colors
Every piece was small and I didn't have a coat
And it was way [F#] down in the fall
