Coat Of Many Colors Chords by Dolly Parton

[A] It's also a true story [F#m] from my [A] childhood.
_ _ [F#m] _ [A] _
_ _ [F#] _ [A] Back through the years I go wondering once again
_ back to the seasons [D] of my [Bm] youth.
[A] I recall the box of rags that someone gave us
and how my mama put the [D] rags to use.
There [A] were rags of many colors
but every piece was small
and I didn't have a coat
and it [E] was way down in the fall.
[A] Mama sewed the rags together
[D] sewing every piece with love.
She [A] made my coat of many colors
[E] that I was [A] so proud of.
And while she sewed she told a story
from the Bible she had read
about a coat of many colors
[E] Joseph wore and then she said
[A] I hope this coat will bring you
[D] good luck and happiness
and [A] I just couldn't wait to wear it
[E] and mama blessed [A] it with a kiss.
[D] My coat of [Bm] many colors
[A] that my mommy _ _ [D]
made only _ [F#m] for me
and I wore it [E] so proudly. _
[A] Although we had no money
[D] I was rich as I could be
[A] in my coat of many colors
[E] mama [A] made for [B] me.
_ _ So with patches on my breeches
holes in both my shoes
in my coat of many colors
[F#] I [B] hurried off to school
just to find the others laughing
[E] and making fun of me
and [B] my coat of many colors
[F#] that mama [B] made for me.
No I couldn't understand that
cause I thought I was rich
and then I told them of the love
my mama sewed in every stitch
and then I told them all the story
that mama [E] told me while she sewed
and [B] why my coat of many colors
[F#] was worth more than all [B] their clothes.
_ [E] They didn't understand it
and [B] I tried to make them see
[E] one is only poor
[B] only if you choose to be.
_ It is true we had no money
[E] but I was rich as I could be
[B] in my coat of many colors
[F#] mama [E] made for me.
Made just [B] for me.
