Intro C   F   C  G
C 
Back through the years  I go wondering once again
                          F
Back to the seasons of my youth
    C
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
                              F
And how my momma put the rags to use

           C
There were rags of many colors  Every piece was small
                                    G    
And I didn't have a coat And it was way down in the fall
      C                               F
Momma sewed the rags together  Sewing every piece with love
            C                         G              C
She made my coat of many colors  That I was so proud of


As she sewed, she told a story From the bible, she had read
                                    G
About a coat of many colors Joseph |wore and then she said
              C                          F
Perhaps this |coat will bring you  Good |luck and happiness
            C                                   G                 C
And I just |couldn't wait to wear it And momma |blessed it with a kiss

   F                           C
My coat of many colors That my momma made for me  
     F                    C          G
Made only from rags But I wore it so proudly
  C                            F
Although we had no money I was rich as I could be
      C                      G              C   -  D (key up)
In my coat of many colors My momma made for me

        D
So with patches on my britches Holes in both my shoes
                            A
In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school
         D                            G
Just to find the others laughing  And making fun of me
      D                      A              D
In my coat of many colors My momma made for me

         D
And oh I couldn't understand it  For I felt I was rich
                                       A
And I told them of the love  My momma sewed in every stitch
      D                             G
And I told em all the story   Momma told me while she sewed
           D                             A                   D
And how my coat of many colors Was worth more than all their clothes
                                                  [store bought]
         G                          D
But they didn't understand it And I tried to make them see
     G                      D                 A
That one is only poor  Only if they choose to be
      D                               G
Now I know we had no money  But I was rich as I could be
      D                       A              G
In my coat of many colors  My momma made for me
              D
Made just for me
