Coat Of Many Colours Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Bac[Em]k thr[G]ou[Em]gh th[G]e years
I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of [C]my youth
I re[G]call the box of rags
that someone gave us
And how my mama put the rags to [C]use
There were [G]rags of many colors,
but every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat,
and it was a [D]way down in the fall
Mama [G]sewed the rags together,
so in [C]every piece with love
She made my [G]coat of many colors
that [D]I was so p[G]roud of
As she sold she told a story
from the Bible she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph [D]wore and then she said
[G]Perhaps this coat will bring you
good [C]luck and happiness
And I just [G]couldn't wait to wear it
and Mama [D]blessed it with [G]a kiss
My [C]coat of many colors
that my [G]mama made for me
[C]Made only from braids,
but I [G]wore it so [D]proudly
Although [G]we had no money,
I was [C]rich as I could be
In my [G]coat of many colors
my [D]mama made for [G]me[E]
So with [A]patches on my breeches
and holes in both my shoes
And my coat of many colors
I [E]hurried off to school
Just to [A]find the others
laughing and mak[D]ing fun of me
And my [A]coat of many colors
my [E]mama made for [A]me
And oh, I couldn't understand it,
for I felt I was rich
And I told them all the love
my mama [E]sewed in every stitch
And I [A]told them all the story
mama [D]told me while she sewed
And how my [A]coat of many colors
was worth [E]more than all [A]their clothes
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]mama made for [D]me
Made just [A]for me you
