Capo 3

[Intro]
G
G                     
Back through the years
I go wonderin once again
                       C       
Back to the seasons of my youth
    G                                      
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
                                 C  
And how my momma put the rags to use

[Verse 1]
           G                  
There were rags of many colors
G                    
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
           D                   
And it was way down in the fall
      G                      
Momma sewed the rags together
      C                    
Sewin every piece with love
            G                  
She made my coat of many colors
     D        G       
That I was so proud of

[Verse 2]
G                             
As she sewed, she told a story
G                           
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
       D                     
Joseph wore and then she said
   G                            
Perhaps this coat will bring you
     C                 
Good luck and happiness
           G                       
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
          D                 G   
And momma blessed it with a kiss

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

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

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

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