COAT OF MANY COLOURS by Dolly Parton
D
Back through the years I go wondering once again
G7
Back to the seasons of my/ youth
D
I re/call a box of rags that someone gave us
G7
And how my mamma put these rags to/ use
D
There were/ rags of many colours,and every piece was small
A
And I didn't have a coat and it was/ way down in the fall
D G7
Mamma/ sewed the rags together,sewing/ ever piece with love
D A
She made my/ coat of many colours,that/ I was so proud of
D
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
A
About a coat of many colours Joseph/ wore and they she said
D G7
Per/haps this coat will bring you ,much/ love and happiness
D
And I just could/n't wait to wear it
A D
And mamma/ blessed it with a kiss
G7 D
My. coat of many colours that/ mamma made for me
G7 D A
Made only rags,but I/ wore it so proud/ly
D G7
Al/though we had no money.oh I/ was rich as I could be
D A D
In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for me
(CHANGE CORDS HERE)
E
So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
B7
In my coat of many colours,I/ hurried off to school
E A
Just to/ find the others laughing and mak/in' fun of me
E B7 E
In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for/ me
Oh,I couldn't understand it,for I felt I was rich
B7
And I told them of the love my mamma/ sewed in ever stitch
E A
And I/ told them all the story ,mamma/ told me while she
sewed
E
And how my/ coat of many colours
B7
is worth/ more than all of their clothes
A E
They/ didn't under stand it and I/ tried to make them see
A E B7
That/ one is only poor only/ if they choose to be/
E A
Now I/ know we have no money,but I'm as/ rich as I could be
E B7 E
In my/ coat of many colours, my/ mamma made for me
A E
Yeah just for me.....
Cheers!!!
