COAT OF MANY COLOURS by Dolly Parton D Back through the years I go wondering once again G Back to the seasons of my/ youth D I / recall a box of rags that someone gave us G And how my mamma put those rags to/ use D There were/ rags of many colours, and every piece was small A And I didn't have a coat and it was/ way down in the fall D G Mamma/ sewed the rags together, sewing/ every piece with love
D A D She made my/ coat of many colours,that/ I was so proud of D As she sewed she told the story from the Bible she had read A About a coat of many colours Joseph/ wore and then she said D G Per/haps this coat will bring you ,much/ love and happiness D And I just/ couldn't wait to wear it A D And mamma/ blessed it with a kiss G D My coat of many colours that/ mamma made for me G D A Made only rags,but I/ wore it so proud/ly D G Al/though we had no money.oh I/ was rich as I could be D A D In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for me (CHANGE KEY HERE) E So with patches on my breeches and holes in both my shoes B7 In my coat of many colours,I/ hurried off to school E A Just to/ find the others laughing and/ makin' fun of me E B7 E In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for/ me Oh,I couldn't understand it,for I felt I was rich B7 And I told them of the love my mamma/ sewed in ever stitch E A And I/ told them all the story mamma/ told me while she sewed E And how my/ coat of many colours B7 E Was worth/ more than all of their clothes A E They/ didn't understand it and I/ tried to make them see A E B7 That/ one is only poor only/ if they choose to be E A Now I/ know we have no money,but I'm was/ rich as I could be E B7 E In my/ coat of many colours, my/ mamma made for me A E Yeah just for me.....
