Coat Of Many Colours chords by Dolly Parton

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

 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.....
