Dolly Parton - Coat of many colors

^GBack through the years I go wondering once again Back to the seasons of my ^Cyouth I ^Grecall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my momma put these rags to ^Cuse

There were ^Grags of many colors and every piece was small And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the ^D7fall Momma ^Gsewed the rags together sewing ^Cever piece with love She made my ^Gcoat of many colors ^D7that I was so proud ^Gof

^GAs she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read About a coat of many colors Joseph wore and then she ^D7said Per^Ghaps this coat will bring you much ^Clove and happiness And I just couldn't wait to ^Gwear it And momma ^D7blessed it with a ^Gkiss

My ^Ccoat of many colors that my ^Gmomma made for me ^CMade only rags but I ^Gwore it so prou^D7dly Al^Gthough we had no money oh ^CI was rich as I could be In my ^Gcoat of many colors ^D7my momma made for^G me

In my coat of many colors I hurried off to ^D7school Just to ^Gfind the others laughing and ^Cmaking fun of me In my ^Gcoat of many colors ^D7my momma made for^G me

^GOh I couldn't understand it for I felt I was rich And I told them of the love my momma sewed in ever ^D7stitch And I ^Gtold them all the story ^Cmomma told me while she sewed And how my ^Gcoat of many colors Is ^D7worth more than all of their ^Gclothes

They ^Cdidn't under stand it and I ^Gtried to make them see ^CThat one is only poor ^Gonly if they choose to^D7 be Now I ^Gknow we have no money but ^CI'm as rich as I could be In my ^Gcoat of many colors ^D7my momma made for ^Gme
