Verse 1
G 
Back through the years
C 
G 
I go wandering once again
C 
Back to the seasons of my youth
G 
I recall a box of rags
that someone gave us
C 
And how my mama put those rags to use
G 
There were rags of many colors
And every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
D 
And it was way down in the fall
G 
Mama sewed the rags together
C 
Sewing every piece with love
G 
She made my coat of many colors
D 
G 
That I  was so proud of
As she sewed she told a story
From the Bible she had read
About a coat of many colors
D 
Joseph wore and then she said
G 
Perhaps this coat will bring you
C 
Good luck and happiness
G 
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
D 
G 
Mama blessed it with a kiss
C 
My coat of many colors
G 
That my mama made for me
C 
Made only from rakes,
G 
D 
but I wore it so proudly
G 
I know we had no money,
C 
but I was rich as I could be
G 
In my coat of many colors,
D 
G 
my mama made for me

Verse 2
G 
Now with patches on my breeches
C 
G 
And holes in both my shoes
And my coat of many colors
D 
Well I hurried off to school
G 
Just to find the others laughing
C 
And making fun of me
G 
And my coat of many colors
D 
G 
My mama made for me
Well, I did not understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told him of the love
D 
My mama sewed in every stitch
G 
And I told him all the story
C 
Mama told me while she sewed
G 
How my coat of many colors
D 
G 
was worth more than all their clothes
C 
But they did not understand it
G 
though I tried to make them see
C 
That one is only poor
G 
D 
only if they choose to be
G 
I know we had no money
C 
but I was rich as I could be
G 
In my coat of many colors,
D 
G 
my mama made for me
In my coat of many colors,
D 
my mama made
C 
G 
Just for me, just for me
