Chords for Karen Waldrup - Coat of Many Colors (Acoustic Cover) // The Church Sessions

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