Verse 1:
G
Back through the years I go wandering once again
                        C
Back to the seasons of my youth
        G
And I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
                                C
And how my mama put the rags to use
           G
There were rags of many colors, every piece was small
                                    D/F#
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
     G                               C
Mama sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love
            G                        D        G
She made my coat of many colors that I was so proud of

Verse 2:
G
Well mama sewed, she told a story from the Bible she had read
                                    D
About a coat of many colors, Joseph wore and then she said
  G                                  C
I hope this coat will bring you good luck and happiness
      G                                      D                 G
And I just couldn't wait to wear it and mama blessed it with a kiss


Chorus:
   C                           G
My coat of many colors that my mama made for me
C                         G          D
Made only from rags but I wore it so proudly
  G                             C
Although we had no money, I was rich as I could be
      G                      D         G       E7
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me


Verse 3:
        A
So with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes
                             E
In my coat of many colors, I hurried off to school
        A                            D
Just to find the others laughing and making fun of me
      A                      E         A
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me


Verse 4:
A
And oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich
                                    E
And I told them of the love my mama sewed in every stitch
      A                            D
And I told them all the story mama told me while she sewed
           A                             E             A
And how my coat of many colors was worth more than all their clothes


Chorus:
         D                          A
But they didn't understand it and I tried to make them see
     D                     A              E
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
      A                               D
Now I know we had no money, but I was rich as I could be
      A                      E         D
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me
          A
Made just for me
