COAT OF MANY COLOURS by Dolly Parton
D Back through the years I go wondering once again
G7 Back to the seasons of my/ youth
D I re/call a box of rags that someone gave us
G7 And how my mamma put these 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
DG7 Mamma/ sewed the rags together,sewing/ ever piece with love
DA 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 they she said
DG7 Per/haps this coat will bring you ,much/ love and happiness
D And I just could/n't wait to wear it
AD And mamma/ blessed it with a kiss
G7D My. coat of many colours that/ mamma made for me
G7DA Made only rags,but I/ wore it so proud/ly
DG7 Al/though we had no money.oh I/ was rich as I could be
DAD In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for me
(CHANGE CORDS HERE)
E So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
B7 In my coat of many colours,I/ hurried off to school
EA Just to/ find the others laughing and mak/in' fun of me
EB7E 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
EA And I/ told them all the story ,mamma/ told me while she sewed
E And how my/ coat of many colours
B7 is worth/ more than all of their clothes
AE They/ didn't under stand it and I/ tried to make them see
AEB7 That/ one is only poor only/ if they choose to be/
EA Now I/ know we have no money,but I'm as/ rich as I could be
EB7E In my/ coat of many colours, my/ mamma made for me
