Capo: 2

Coat of Many Colors - Dolly Parton Capo 2 (Or adjust Capo if nesscessary)

^FBack through the years I go wonderin once again Back to the seasons of my ^Fyouth I re^Fcall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my momma put the rags ^Fto use

There were ^Frags of many colors Every piece was small

And I didnt have a coat

And it was ^Gway down in the fall Momma ^Fsewed the rags together Sewin ^Fevery piece with love She made my ^Fcoat of many colors That ^GI was so ^Fproud of

As she sewed, she told a story From the bible, she had read About a coat of many colors

Joseph ^Gwore and then she said ^FPerhaps this coat will bring you Good ^Fluck and happiness And I just ^Fcouldnt wait to wear it And momma ^Gblessed it with a ^Fkiss

My ^Fcoat of many colors That my ^Fmomma made for me Made ^Fonly from rags But I ^Fwore it so ^Gproudly Al^Fthough we had no money I was ^Frich as I could be In my ^Fcoat of many colors My ^Gmomma made for ^Fme

So with ^Dpatches on my britches Holes in both my shoes

In my coat of many colors

I ^Ahurried off to school Just to ^Dfind the others laughing And ^Gmaking fun of me In my ^Dcoat of many colors My ^Amomma made for ^Gme

And oh I ^Dcouldnt understand it For I felt I was rich

And I told them of the love

My momma ^Asewed in every stitch And I ^Dtold em all the story Momma ^Gtold me while she sewed And how my ^Dcoat of many colors Was worth ^Amore than all their ^Dclothes

But they ^Gdidnt understand it And I ^Dtried to make them see That ^Gone is only poor Only ^Dif they choose to ^Abe Now I ^Dknow we had no money But I was ^Grich as I could be In my ^Dcoat of many colors A G D* My momma made for me

*Let last note ring
