COAT OF MANY COLOURS by Dolly Parton
D MajorD
Back through the years I go wondering once again
G+G
Back to the seasons of my/ youth
D MajorD
I / recall a box of rags that someone gave us
G+G
And how my mamma put those rags to/ use
D MajorD
There were/ rags of many colours, and every piece was small
A augmentedA
And I didn't have a coat and it was/ way down in the fall
D MajorD G+G
Mamma/ sewed the rags together, sewing/ every piece with love
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
She made my/ coat of many colours,that/ I was so proud of
D MajorD
As she sewed she told the story from the Bible she had read
A augmentedA
About a coat of many colours Joseph/ wore and then she said
D MajorD G+G
Per/haps this coat will bring you ,much/ love and happiness
D MajorD
And I just/ couldn't wait to wear it
A augmentedA D MajorD
And mamma/ blessed it with a kiss
G+G D MajorD
My coat of many colours that/ mamma made for me
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Made only rags,but I/ wore it so proud/ly
D MajorD G+G
Al/though we had no money.oh I/ was rich as I could be
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for me
(CHANGE KEY HERE)
E MajorE
So with patches on my breeches and holes in both my shoes
B7B7
In my coat of many colours,I/ hurried off to school
E MajorE A augmentedA
Just to/ find the others laughing and/ makin' fun of me
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for/ me
Oh,I couldn't understand it,for I felt I was rich
B7B7
And I told them of the love my mamma/ sewed in ever stitch
E MajorE A augmentedA
And I/ told them all the story mamma/ told me while she sewed
E MajorE
And how my/ coat of many colours
B7B7 E MajorE
Was worth/ more than all of their clothes
A augmentedA E MajorE
They/ didn't understand it and I/ tried to make them see
A augmentedA E MajorE B7B7
That/ one is only poor only/ if they choose to be
E MajorE A augmentedA
Now I/ know we have no money,but I'm was/ rich as I could be
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
In my/ coat of many colours, my/ mamma made for me
A augmentedA E MajorE
Yeah just for me.....
