COAT OF MANY COLOURS Dolly Parton
Ba[G]ck through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my/ [C7]youth
I re/c[G]all a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mamma put these rags to/[C7] use
There were/[G] rags of many colours,and every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat and it was/[D] way down in the fall
Mamma/ s[G]ewed the rags together,sewing/ ev[C7]er piece with love
She made my/ c[G]oat of many colours,that/ I[D] was so proud of
A[G]s she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many colours Joseph/ w[D]ore and then she said
Per/ha[G]ps this coat will bring you ,much/ l[C7]ove and happiness
And I just could/n[G]'t wait to wear it
And mamma/ b[D]lessed it with a kiss[G]
My c[C7]oat of many colours that/ m[G]amma made for me
M[C7]ade only rags,but I/ [G]wore it so proud/l[D]y
Al/tho[G]ugh we had no money.oh I/ [C7]was rich as I could be
In my/ c[G]oat of many colours,my/ m[D]amma made for me [G]
S[A]o with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours,I/ [E7]hurried off to school
Just to/ f[A]ind the others laughing and mak/in[D]' fun of me
In my/ [A]coat of many colours,my/ m[E7]amma made for/ [A]me
Oh,I couldn't understand it,for I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love my mamma/ se[E7]wed in ever stitch
And I/ t[A]old them all the story ,mamma/ t[D]old me while she sewed
And how my/ c[A]oat of many colours
is worth/ mo[E7]re than all of their clothes
They/ d[D]idn't under stand it and I/ t[A]ried to make them see
That/ [D]one is only poor only/ [A]if they choose to be/[E7]
Now I/ [A]know we have no money,but I'm as/ [D]rich as I could be
In my/ c[A]oat of many colours, my/ [E7]mamma made for me [A]
Ye[D]ah just for me..... [A]
