Coat of Many Colors: Chords

Intro:
SIb

SIb
Back through the years

I go wonderin' once again
                       MIb
Back to the seasons of my youth
    SIb                         
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
                                 MIb
And how my momma put the rags to use
           SIb
There were rags of many colors
                 
Every piece was small
                 
And I didn't have a coat
           FA7
And it was way down in the fall
      SIb
Momma sewed the rags together
       MIb
Sewin' every piece with love
            SIb
She made my coat of many colors
     FA7      SIb
That I was so proud of

       SIb
As she sewed, she told a story

From the Bible, she had read

About a coat of many colors
       FA7       
Joseph wore and then she said
   SIb
Perhaps this coat will bring you
     MIb
Good luck and happiness
           SIb
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
          FA7               SIb
And momma blessed it with a kiss

   MIb
My coat of many colors
        SIb
That my momma made for me
MIb
Made only from rags
      SIb        FA7
But I wore it so proudly
  SIb 
Although we had no money
      MIb
I was rich as I could be
      SIb 
In my coat of many colors
   FA7            SIb    SOL7
My momma made for me

        DO
So with patches on my britches

And holes in both my shoes
                     
In my coat of many colors
  SOL7
I hurried off to school
        DO       
Just to find the others laughing
    FA
And making fun of me
      DO       
In my coat of many colors
   SOL7           DO
My momma made for me
  
And oh, I couldn't understand it

For I felt I was rich

And I told 'em of the love
         SOL7
My momma sewed in every stitch
      DO
And I told 'em all the story
      FA
Momma told me while she sewed
           DO
And how my coat of many colors
          SOL7               DO
Was worth more than all their clothes

         FA
But they didn't understand it
      DO
And I tried to make them see
     FA
That one is only poor
     DO                SOL7
Only if they choose to be
      DO
Now I know we had no money
          FA
But I was rich as I could be
      DO             
In my coat of many colors
   SOL7         FA
My momma made for me
          DO
Made just for me
