     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
