INTRO
[Bb][|][Bb][|][Bb][|][Bb][|] 
 
[Bb]Back through the years I go [|][Bb]wonderin 
once again [|][Bb]Back to the seasons of my [|] 
[Eb]youth..And I re[|][Bb]call a box of rags that 
someone [|][Bb]gave us..And [|]
[Bb]how my momma put the rags to [|][Eb]use 
 
VERSE 1
There were [|][Bb]rags of many colors [|]
[Bb]Every piece was small And I [|]
[Bb]didn't have a coat And it was [|]
[F]way down in the fall. Momma [|]
[Bb]sewed the rags together Sewin [|]
[Eb]every piece with love She made my [|]
[Bb]coat of many colors. 
That [|][F]I was so proud [Bb]of [|]
 
VERSE 2
[Bb]My mamma sewed, she told [|][Bb]a story
From the bible, she had [|][Bb]read.
Abooout a coat of many [|][Bb]colors,
Joseph [F]wore and then she [|][F]said.
I [Bb]hope this coat will [|][Bb]bring you
Good [Eb]luck and happi[|][Eb]ness
And I just [Bb]couldn't wait to [|][Bb]wear it
And momma [F]blessed it with a [|][Bb]kiss 
  
CHORUS
..My [|][Eb]coat of many colors That my [|]
[Bb]momma made for me [|][Eb]Made only 
from rags But I [|][Bb]wore it so [F]proudly [|]
[F]..Al[Bb]though we had no money I 
was [|][Eb]rich as I could be In my [|][Bb]coat of 
many colors [|][F]momma made [Bb]for me [|]

[Bb][G][|][G][C][|]
 
VERSE 3
[C]..So with [|][C]patches on my britches and [|]
[C]holes in both my shoes. In my [|][C]coat of 
many colors But I [|][G]hurried off to school.
Just to [|][C]find the others laughing And [|]
[F]making fun of me in my [|][C]coat of many 
colors My [|][G]momma made for [C]me [|]
 
VERSE 4
[C]And oh I couldn't understand [|][C]that[\]..
For I felt..I was [|][C]rich. And I told 
them of the [|][C]love My momma 
[G]sewed in every [|][G]stitch. And I [C]told 
em all the [|][C]story. Momma [F]told me 
while she [|][F]sewed And how my 
[C]coat of many [|][C]colors Was worth 
[G]more than all their [|][C]clothes 
 
CHORUS 2
they [|][F]didn't understand it
And I [|][C]tried to make them see
That [|][F]one is only poor
Only [|][C]if they choose to [G]be [|]
[G]Oh yah it's [C]true we had no [|][C]money
But I was [F]rich as I could [|][F]be
In my [C]coat of many [|][C]colors
My [G]momma made for [|][F]me 
Made just [|][C]for me [|]
