Coat of Many Colors By Dolly Parton
Comment: this was a very difficult song to get the chords for. (can be played with Capo 2 or 3 to further match the recording){or on preference}
Intro: G
[G]Back through the years
I go wonderin once again
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 didnt have a coat
And it was [D7]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 [D7]I was so proud [G]of
[G]As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph [D7]wore and then she said
Per[G]haps this coat will bring you
Good [C]luck and happiness
And I just [G]couldnt wait to wear it
And momma [D7]blessed it with a [G]kiss
Chorus:
My [C]coat of many colors
That my [G]momma made for me
Made[C] only from rags
But I [G]wore it so proud[D7]ly
A[G]lthough we had no money
I was [C]rich as I could be
In my [G]coat of many colors
My [D7]momma made for me [G]-----[E7]
So with [A]patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I [E7]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 [E7]momma made for[A] me
And oh I [A]couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma [E7]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[E7] more than all their[A] clothes
But they [D]didnt understand it
And I [A]tried to make them see
That [D]one is only poor
Only [A]if they choose to [E7]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[E7] momma made for[D] me
Made just for [A]me------[E7]--[A]
