Dolly Parton – Coat Of Many Colors (Guitar)

G
  Back through the years

                       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

           G
There were rags of many colors

G
Every piece was small

           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

G
As she sewed, she told a story

G
From the bible, she had read

       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

   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

        A
So with patches on my britches

    A
and holes in both my shoes

  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

    E    A
And oh I couldn't understand it

    A
For I felt I was rich

         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

         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
