Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

GBack through the years

I go wonderin once again

 Back to the seasons of my Cyouth

 I reGcall a box of rags that someone gave us

 And how my momma put the rags Cto use

 There were Grags of many colors

Every piece was small

And I didnt have a coat

 And it was Dway down in the fall

 Momma Gsewed the rags together

 Sewin Cevery piece with love

 She made my Gcoat of many colors

 That DI was so Gproud of

As she sewed, she told a story

From the bible, she had read

About a coat of many colors

 Joseph Dwore and then she said

GPerhaps this coat will bring you

 Good Cluck and happiness

 And I just Gcouldnt wait to wear it

 And momma Dblessed it with a Gkiss

 My Ccoat of many colors

 That my Gmomma made for me

 Made Conly from rags

 But I Gwore it so Dproudly

 AlGthough we had no money

 I was Crich as I could be

 In my Gcoat of many colors

 My Dmomma made for Gme

 So with Apatches on my britches

Holes in both my shoes

In my coat of many colors

 I Ehurried off to school

 Just to Afind the others laughing

 And Dmaking fun of me

 In my Acoat of many colors

 My Emomma made for Dme

 And oh I Acouldnt understand it

For I felt I was rich

And I told them of the love

 My momma Esewed in every stitch

 And I Atold em all the story

 Momma Dtold me while she sewed

 And how my Acoat of many colors

 Was worth Emore than all their Aclothes

 But they Ddidnt understand it

 And I Atried to make them see

 That Done is only poor

 Only Aif they choose to Ebe

 Now I Aknow we had no money

 But I was Drich as I could be

 In my Acoat of many colors

 My Emomma made for Dme A
