Verse 1
G 
Back through the years
I go wandering once again
D 
Back through the seasons of my youth
G 
I recall the box of rags
that someone gave us
C 
And how my mama put the rags to use
G 
They 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 
so in 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 the 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 
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 red,
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 
E 
my mama made for me
A 
Sewed patches on my breeches,
and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors,
E 
I hurried off to school
A 
Just to find the others
D 
laughing and making fun of me
A 
In my coat of many colors,
E 
A 
my mama made for me
Oh, and I didn't understand it,
for I felt I was rich
And I told them all the love
E 
my mama sewed in every stitch
A 
And I told them all the stories
D 
Mama told me while she sewed
A 
How my coat of many colors
E 
A 
Was worth more than all their clothes
D 
But they didn't understand it
A 
And I tried to make them see
D 
That one is only poor
A 
E 
Only if they choose to be
A 
Although we had no money
D 
I was rich as I could be
A 
And my coat of many colors
E 
D 
My mama made for me
A 
Just for me
