Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
Back through the years
I go wandering once again
C 
Back to 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 
There were rags of many colors
And every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
D 
And that was way down in the fog
G 
Mama sewed the rags together
C 
Sewing every piece with love
G 
She made my coat to many colors
D 
G 
that I  was so proud of
She sewed, she told a story
from the Bible she had read
About a coat to 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 
My mama blessed it with a  kiss
C 
And my coats are many colors
G 
that my mama made for me
C 
Made only from breads,
G 
D 
but I  wore it so proudly
G 
I knew we had no money,
C 
but I was rich as I could be
G 
And my coats are many colors
D 
G 
C 
G 
C 
G 
D 
that my mama made for me
G 
D 
G 
So it patches on my breeches,
and holes in both my shoes,
and my coat's so many colors.
D 
I hurried off to school,
G 
just to find the others laughing,
C 
and making fun of me,
G 
and my coat so many colors
D 
G 
my mama made for me
but i couldn't understand
it for i felt i was rich
and i told them all the love
D 
my mama sewed in every stitch
G 
and i told them all the stories
C 
mama told me why she sewed
G 
and how my coat too many colors
D 
G 
was worth more than other clothes
C 
They wouldn't understand it,
G 
though I tried to make them see
C 
G 
That money's only for the weak
D 
that choose to be
G 
I knew we had no money,
C 
but I was rich as I could be
G 
In my coat of many colors,
D 
G 
C 
my mama made for me
G 
C 
G 
D

C 
G 
D 
G 
C 
My coat's a many colors
G 
that my mama made for me
C 
Made only from grass,
G 
D 
but I  wore him so proudly

C 
but I was rich as I could be
G 
And my robes were many colors,
D 
C 
my mama made for me
Made just for me
