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

Verse 2
As she (G major) sewed, she told a story
From the Bible, she had read
About a (G major) coat of many colors
Joseph (D major) wore and then she said
Per (G major) haps this coat will bring you
Good (C major) luck and happiness
And I just (G major) couldn't wait to wear it
And momma (D major) blessed it with a (G major) kiss
Chorus 1
My (C major) coat of many colors
That my (G major) momma made for me
(C major) Made only from rags
But I (G major) wore it so (D major) proudly
Al (G major) though we had no money
I was (C major) rich as I could be
In my (G major) coat of many colors
My (D major) momma made for (G major) me (E major)
Verse 3
So with (A major) patches on my britches
And holes in both my shoes
In my (A major) coat of many colors
I (E major) hurried off to school
Just to (A major) find the others laughing
And (D major) making fun of me
In my (A major) coat of many colors
My (E major) momma made for (A major) me
Verse 4
And oh I (A major) couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told (A major) 'em of the love
My momma (E major) sewed in every stitch
And I told (A major) 'em all the story
Momma told (D major) me while she sewed
And how my (A major) coat of many colors
Was worth (E major) more than all their (A major) clothes
Chorus 2
But they (D major) didn't understand it
And I (A major) tried to make them see
That (D major) one is only poor
Only (A major) if they choose to (E major) be
Now I know (A major) we had no money
But I was (D major) rich as I could be
In my (A major) coat of many colors
My (E major) momma made for (D major) me
Made just (A major) for me '
