Coat Of Many Colours Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Back through the years
I go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of my [G]youth
I re[D]call a box of rags that
someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to [G]use
There were [D]rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was [A]way down in the fall
Momma [D]sewed the rags together
Sewin [G]every piece with love
She made my [D]coat of many colors
That [A]I was so p[D]roud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
[A]Joseph wore and then she said
Per[D]haps this coat will bring you
Good [G]luck and happiness
And I just [D]couldn't wait to wear it
And momma [A]blessed it with a [D]kiss

[Verse 2]
My [G]coat of many colors
That my [D]momma made for me
[G]Made only from rags
But I [D]wore it so [A]proudly
[D]Although we had no money
I was [G]rich as I could be
In my [D]coat of many colors
My [A]momma made for [D]me
[Bb]

[Verse 3]
So with [Eb]patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I [Bb]hurried off to school
Just to [Eb]find the others laughing
And [Ab]making fun of me
In my [Eb]coat of many colors
My [Bb]momma made [Eb]for me

[Verse 4]
And oh I [Eb]couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma [Bb]sewed in every stitch
And I [Eb]told 'em all the story
Momma [Ab]told me while she sewed
And how [Eb]my coat of many colors
Was worth [Bb]more than all [Eb]their clothes

[Verse 5]
But they [Ab]didn't understand it
And I [Eb]tried to make them see
That [Ab]one is only poor
Only [Eb]if they choose to b[Bb]e
Now I [Eb]know we had no money
But I [Ab]was rich as I [Eb]could be[Bb][Eb]
In my coat of many colors
My [Bb]momma made [Ab]for me
Made just [Eb]for me
