    Verse 1
    Back 
    through 
    the 
    years 

    go 
    wonderin' 
    once 
    again 

    Back 
    to 
    the 
    seasons 
    of 
    my 
    youth 

    re
    call 
    box 
    of 
    rags 
    that 
    someone 
    gave 
    us 

    And 
    how 
    my 
    momma 
    put 
    the 
    rags 
    to 
    use 

    There 
    were 
    rags 
    of 
    many 
    colors 

    Every 
    piece 
    was 
    small 

    And 
    didn't 
    have 
    coat 

    And 
    it 
    was 
    way 
    down 
    in 
    the 
    fall 

    Momma 
    sewed 
    the 
    rags 
    together 

    Sewin' 
    every 
    piece 
    with 
    love 

    She 
    made 
    my 
    coat 
    of 
    many 
    colors 

    That 
    was 
    so 
    proud 
    of 

    Verse 2
    As 
    she 
    sewed, 
    she 
    told 
    story 

    From 
    the 
    Bible, 
    she 
    had 
    read 

    About 
    coat 
    of 
    many 
    colors 

    Joseph 
    wore 
    and 
    then 
    she 
    said 

    Per
    haps 
    this 
    coat 
    will 
    bring 
    you 

    Good 
    luck 
    and 
    happiness 

    And 
    just 
    couldn't 
    wait 
    to 
    wear 
    it 

    And 
    momma 
    blessed 
    it 
    with 
    kiss 

    Chorus 1
    My 
    coat 
    of 
    many 
    colors 

    That 
    my 
    momma 
    made 
    for 
    me 

    Made 
    only 
    from 
    rags 

    But 
    wore 
    it 
    so 
    proudly 

    Al
    though 
    we 
    had 
    no 
    money 

    was 
    rich 
    as 
    could 
    be 

    In 
    my 
    coat 
    of 
    many 
    colors 

    My 
    momma 
    made 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 3
    So 
    with 
    patches 
    on 
    my 
    britches 

    And 
    holes 
    in 
    both 
    my 
    shoes 

    In 
    my 
    coat 
    of 
    many 
    colors 

    hurried 
    off 
    to 
    school 

    Just 
    to 
    find 
    the 
    others 
    laughing 

    And 
    making 
    fun 
    of 
    me 

    In 
    my 
    coat 
    of 
    many 
    colors 

    My 
    momma 
    made 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 4
    And 
    oh 
    couldn't 
    understand 
    it 

    For 
    felt 
    was 
    rich 

    And 
    told 
    'em 
    of 
    the 
    love 

    My 
    momma 
    sewed 
    in 
    every 
    stitch 

    And 
    told 
    'em 
    all 
    the 
    story 

    Momma 
    told 
    me 
    while 
    she 
    sewed 

    And 
    how 
    my 
    coat 
    of 
    many 
    colors 

    Was 
    worth 
    more 
    than 
    all 
    their 
    clothes 

    Chorus 2
    But 
    they 
    didn't 
    understand 
    it 

    And 
    tried 
    to 
    make 
    them 
    see 

    That 
    one 
    is 
    only 
    poor 

    Only 
    if 
    they 
    choose 
    to 
    be 

    Now 
    know 
    we 
    had 
    no 
    money 

    But 
    was 
    rich 
    as 
    could 
    be 

    In 
    my 
    coat 
    of 
    many 
    colors 

    My 
    momma 
    made 
    for 
    me 

    Made 
    just 
    for 
    me

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
