[Intro]
G    Gsus2   G    Gsus2

[Verse]
G
  Back through the years
  Gsus2 G                Gsus2
I go   wand'rin once again     
G             G7                 Csus2   C
  Back to the seasons of my youth
    G                        Gsus   G       Gsus2
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
G                  G7                C      Csus2
  And how my momma put the rags to use

[Verse 2]
           G                  Gsus2
There were rags of many colors
G
Every piece was small
Gsus   G
And I didn't have a coat
            D
And it was way down in the fall
      G
Momma sewed the rags together
      C
Sewin every piece with love
Gsus2       G
She made my coat of many colors
     D7            G
That I was so proud of

[Verse 3]
Gsus  Gsus2   G
As       she sewed, she told a story
                            Gsus
From the bible, she had read
        G
About a coat of many colors
       D
Joseph wore and then she said
   G                   G7
Perhaps this coat will bring you
     C                 Csus2
Good luck and happiness
           G
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
          D7               Gsus2    G
And momma blessed it with a kiss

[Verse 4]
F/A   Bdim  C
     My    coat of many colors
        G
That my ma-ma made for me
C
Made only from rags
      G          Dsus   D7
But I wore it so proudly
  G
Although we had no money
           C                 Csus2
Well I was rich as I could be
      G
In my coat of many colors
   D                G      Gsus
My ma-ma made for me

[Verse 5]
Asus   Asus2   A
So      with patches on my britches
                       Asus
Holes in both my shoes
        A
In my coat of many colors
   E
I hurried off to school
        A                 A7
Just to find the others laughing
     D                 Dsus2
And making fun of me
        A
and my coat of many colors
     E7             Asus2    A
My mA-ma made for me

[Verse 6]
G/B   C#dim D
And oh I couldn't understand it
        A
For I felt I was rich
D
And I told them of the love
      A          Esus   E7
My momma sewed in every stitch
  A
And I told em all the story
           D                 Dsus2
MA-ma told me while she sewed
    A
And how my coat of many colors
   E                A      Asus
Was worth more than all their clothes

[Verse 7]
G/B   C#dim D
But they    didn't understand it
      A
And I tried to make them see
     D
That one is only poor
      A          Esus   E7
Only if they choose to be
      A
Now I know we had no money
           D                 Dsus2
But I was rich as I could be
      A
In my coat of many colors
   E             A      Asus
My ma-ma made        for me
      A         Asus
Made just for me
