Chords for Joey+Rory - Coat Of Many Colors (Live)

[G] _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ Back through the years I go wondering once again
_ Back to the seasons of [C] my youth
I [G] recall the box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mama put the [C] rags to use
There [G] were rags of many colors
And every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
[D] And it was way down in the fall
[G] Mama sewed the rags together
[C] Sewing every piece with love
She [G] made my coat of many colors
[D] That I was [G] so proud of
And as she sewed she told the story
From the Bible she had read
About a coat of many colors
[D] Joseph wore and then she [G] said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
[C] Good luck and happiness
And [G] I just couldn't wait to wear it
[D] And mama blessed it [G] with a gift
_ [C]
My coat of many colors
[G] That my mama made for me
[C] Made only from rags
[G] Though I wore it so [D] proudly _
[G] Now I know we had no money
[C] But I was rich as I could be
And [G] my coat of many colors
[D] My mama [G] made for me
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ [G]
Sewed with patches on my breeches
And holes in both of my shoes
And my coat of many colors
[D] Well I hurried off to school
[G] Just to find the others laughing
[C] And making fun of [G] me
And my coat of many colors
[D] My mama [G] made for me
Though I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
But I told them all the love
My [D] mama sewed with every stitch
[G] And I told them all the stories
[C] Mama told me while she sewed
And [G] how my coat of many colors
[D] Was worth more than [G] all their clothes
But [C] they didn't understand [G] it
And I tried to make them see
[C] One is only [G] poor
Only if they [D] choose to be
[G] Now I know we had no money
[C] But I was rich as I could be
And [G] my coat of many colors
[D] My mama [C] made for me
Made [G] just for me _ _ _ _ _ _
