Dolly Parton – Coat Of Many Colors (Ukulele)

G
Back through the years I go wondering 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 these rags to use

           G
There were rags of many colors and every piece was small

                                                    D7
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall

      G                              C
Momma sewed the rags together sewing ever piece with love

            G                   D7                  G
She made my coat of many colors that I was so proud of

G
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read

                                                     D7
About a coat of many colors Joseph wore and then she said

   G                                  C
Perhaps this coat will bring you much love and happiness

                            G
And I just couldn't wait to wear it

          D7                G
And momma blessed it with a kiss

   C                           G
My coat of many colors that my momma made for me

C                    G              D7
Made only rags but I wore it so proudly

  G                         C
Although we had no money oh I was rich as I could be

      G                   D7               G
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me

                                           D7
In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school

        G                            C
Just to find the others laughing and making fun of me

      G                   D7               G
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me

G
Oh I couldn't understand it for I felt I was rich

                                                   D7
And I told them of the love my momma sewed in ever stitch

      G                       C
And I told them all the story momma told me while she sewed

           G
And how my coat of many colors

   D7                           G
Is worth more than all of their clothes

     C                           G
They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see

C                     G                     D7
That one is only poor only if they choose to be

      G                         C
Now I know we have no money but I'm as rich as I could be

      G                   D7                G
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me
