[A] [Gm]
[Bb] Back through the years I go wandering once again
Back to the [F] seasons [Eb] of my youth
And [Bb] I recall a box of rags someone gave us
And how my mama put the [Eb] rags to use
[Bb] There were rags of many colors
But every piece was small
I didn't have a coat and [F] it was way down in the fall
[Bb] Mama sewed the rags together
[Eb] So I never pieced with love
She [Bb] made my coat of many colors
[F] That I was [Bb] so proud of
While mama sewed she told a story
From the Bible she had read
Bout a coat of many colors
[F] Joseph wore and then she said
[Bb] I hope this coat will bring you [Eb] good luck and happiness
And [Bb] I just couldn't wait to wear it
[F] And mama blessed [Bb] it with a kiss
[Eb] My coat of many colors [Bb] that my mama made for [Eb] me
Made only from rags
[Bb] But I wore it [F] so proudly
[Bb] And although we had no money
I [Eb] was rich as I could be
[Bb] In my coat of many colors
[F] Mama [Bb] made for me
Sewed with patches on my breeches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
[F] I hurried off to school
[Bb] Just to find the others [Fm] laughing
[Eb] And making fun of me
In [Bb] my coat of many colors
[F] Mama [Bb] made for me
And oh I couldn't understand that
Cause I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
[F] Mama sewed in every stitch
[Bb] Even told them all the story
[Eb] Mama told me while she sewed
And [Bb] why my coat of many colors
Was [F] worth more than all [Bb] their clothes
[Bb] [Eb] They didn't understand it
And [Bb] I tried to make them see
[Eb] One is only poor
[Bb] Only if they [F] choose to be
[Cm] [Bb] It's true we had no money
But [Eb] I was rich as I could be
In [Bb] my coat of many colors
[F] Mama [Eb] made for me
Cause she [Bb] made it just for me
[Bb] Back through the years I go wandering once again
Back to the [F] seasons [Eb] of my youth
And [Bb] I recall a box of rags someone gave us
And how my mama put the [Eb] rags to use
[Bb] There were rags of many colors
But every piece was small
I didn't have a coat and [F] it was way down in the fall
