I'd like to do a song for you [B] now that tells a true story about one of my most memorable childhood memories.
It's a song called The Coat of Many Colors.
Back through the years I go wandering once again
Back to the seasons of [E] my youth
And I [B] recall a box of [F#] rags that someone gave [B] us
And how mama put the rags [E] to use
There were [B] rags of many [F#] colors
But every piece was small
And I [B] didn't have a coat
And it was [F#] the way down in the fall
Mama [B] sewed the rags together
[E] Sewing every piece with love
She made [B] my coat of many colors
[F#] That I was so [B] proud [E] of
[B] And as she sewed she told a story
From the Bible she had read
About a coat of many colors
[F#] Joseph wore and then she said
[B] Perhaps this coat will bring you
[E] Good luck and happiness
And I [B] just couldn't wait to wear [F#] it
As mama blessed it with a kiss
[E] My coat of many colors
[B] [E] Made only for
[B] my soul [F#] so proudly
[B] Although we had not [E] as rich as I could be
In [B] my coat of many colors
[F#] That mama [B] made for me
[C] Sewing 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 children laughing
[F] And making fun of me
In [C] my coat of many colors
[G] That 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
That [G] mama sewed in every stitch
[C] And I told them all the story
[F] Mama told me what she sewed
And how [C] my coat of many colors
Was [G] worth more than [C] all the clothes
They [F] didn't understand it
And [C] I tried to make them see
[F] One is only [C] me if they [G] choose to be
[E] [D] And I [C] know I'm not rich
But I [F] was rich as I could be
In [C] my coat of many colors
[G] That mama made [C] for me
In my coat of many colors
That [G] mama [F] made for me
[C] Made just for me
