Chords for Dolly Parton - Coat Of Many Colors (Official Audio)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons [Eb] of my youth _
[Bb] I recall a box of rags that 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
And I didn't have a coat
[F] And it was a way down in the fall
[Bb] Mama sewed the rags together
Sewing [Eb] every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
[F] That I was so [Bb] proud _ of
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
[Bb] Perhaps this coat will bring you
[Eb] Good luck and happiness
And I [Bb] just couldn't wait to wear it
[F] And mama blessed it [Bb] with a kiss
[Eb] My coat of many colors
[Bb] That my mama made for me
[Eb] Made only from rags
[Bb] But I wore it [F] so proudly
_ [Bb] Although we had no money
[Eb] I was rich as I could be
[Bb] In my coat of many colors
[F] My mama [Bb] made for me
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] So with 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 others laughing
[F] And making fun of me
In my [C] coat of many colors
[G] My 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
My [G] mama sewed in every stitch
[C] And I told them all the story
[F] Mama told me while she sewed
And [C] my coat of many colors
[G] Was worth more than [C] all their clothes
[F] But they didn't understand it
[C] And I tried to make them see
[F] That one is only poor
[C] Only if they [G] choose to be
_ [C] Now I know we had no money
[F] But I was rich as I could be
[C] In my coat of many colors
[G] My mama [F] made for me
Made [C] just for me _
