Coat Of Many Colors Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again
[G]Back to the seasons of my [C]youth
I re[G]call a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to [C]use
There were [G]rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I [G]didn't have a coat
And it was [D]way down in the fall
Momma [G]sewed the rags together
Sewin' [C]every piece with love
She made my [G]coat of many colors
That [D]I was so p[G]roud of

[Verse 2]
As she [G]sewed, she told a story
From the Bible, she had read
About a [G]coat of many colors
Joseph [D]wore and then she said
Per[G]haps this coat will bring you
Good [C]luck and happiness
And I just [G]couldn't wait to wear it
And momma [D]blessed it with a [G]kiss

[Chorus 1]
My [C]coat of many colors
That my [G]momma made for me
[C]Made only from rags
But I [G]wore it so [D]proudly
Al[G]though we had no money
I was [C]rich as I could be
In my [G]coat of many colors
My [D]momma made for [G]me[E]

[Verse 3]
So with [A]patches on my britches
And holes in both my shoes
In my [A]coat of many colors
I [E]hurried off to school
Just to [A]find the others laughing
And [D]making fun of me
In my [A]coat of many colors
My [E]momma made for [A]me

[Verse 4]
And oh I [A]couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I [A]told 'em of the love
My momma [E]sewed in every stitch
And I [A]told 'em all the story
Momma [D]told me while she sewed
And how my [A]coat of many colors
Was worth [E]more than all [A]their clothes

[Chorus 2]
But they [D]didn't understand it
And I [A]tried to make them see
That [D]one is only poor
Only [A]if they choose to [E]be
Now I [A]know we had no money
But I was [D]rich as I could be
In my [A]coat of many colors
My [E]momma made [D]for me
Made just [A]for me '
