           COAT OF MANY COLOURS by Dolly Parton

       

         D

       Back through the years I go wondering once again

  

                                  G7

       Back to the seasons of my/ youth

  

             D

       I re/call a box of rags that someone gave us

  

                                          G7

       And how my mamma put these rags to/ use

  

  

                  D     

       There were/ rags of many colours,and every piece was small

  

                                           A

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

  

               D                                G7

       Mamma/ sewed the rags together,sewing/ ever piece with love

  

                     D                          A

       She made my/ coat of many colours,that/ I was so proud of

       

        D

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

  

                                             A

       About a coat of many colours Joseph/ wore and they she said

  

             D                                   G7

       Per/haps this coat will bring you ,much/ love and happiness

  

                         D

       And I just could/n't wait to wear it

  

                   A                    D

       And mamma/ blessed it with a kiss

  

            G7                         D

       My. coat of many colours that/ mamma made for me

  

        G7                   D                 A

       Made only rags,but I/ wore it so proud/ly

  

             D                         G7

       Al/though we had no money.oh I/ was rich as I could be

  

               D                        A                D

       In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for me

      

  

        (CHANGE CORDS HERE)

  

        E        

       So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes

  

                                     B7

       In my coat of many colours,I/ hurried off to school

  

                 E                                 A

       Just to/ find the others laughing and mak/in' fun of me

  

              E                         B7             E

       In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for/ me

       

  

  

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

  

                                               B7

       And I told them of the love my mamma/ sewed in ever stitch

  

               E                               A

       And I/ told them all the story ,mamma/ told me while she

  sewed

  

                    E

       And how my/ coat of many colours

  

                   B7 

       is worth/ more than all of their clothes

  

  

  

              A                            E 

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

  

             A                      E                    B7

       That/ one is only poor only/ if they choose to be/

  

              E                                 A

       Now I/ know we have no money,but I'm as/ rich as I could be

  

               E                        B7                E

       In my/ coat of many colours, my/ mamma made for me

  

         A                    E

       Yeah just for me.....

       

  

  

  

  Cheers!!!
