 Back through the years I go wondering once again
                           F
 Back to the seasons of my youth
       C
 I recall a box of rags  someone gave us
                                     F 
 And how my mamma put those rags to use
            C     
 There were rags of many Colors and every piece was small
                                     G                G
 And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
        C                                  F
 Mamma sewed the rags together  she sewied ever piece with love
             C                    G              C
 She made my coat of many Colors  I was so proud of
        C
 As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
                                    G 
 About a coat of many Colors Joseph wore and then she said
  C                                     F
 Perhaps this coat will bring you good love and happiness
            C
 And I just couldn't wait to wear it
           G                C
 As mamma blessed it with a kiss
     F                           C
 My  coat of many Colors that my mamma made for me
 F                           C             G
 Made from  only rags  but I wore it so proudly
           C                               F
 though we didn't have much money oh I was rich as I could be
       C                      G              C
 In my coat of many Colors my mamma made for me
 C     
 So with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes
                                   G
 In my coat of many Colors  well I started off to school
         C                              F          
 Just to find the children laughing and makin' fun of me
       C                      G              C
 In my coat of many Colors my mamma made for me
  C   
 Now  I didn't understand it for I felt that I was rich
                                      G
 And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
 C                         F
 All about the story mamma told me while she sewed
            C       
 And how my coat of many Colors
           G                      C
 WAs worth more than all of their gold
      F                           C 
 They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see
 F                    C                G
 One's only poor only if you choose to be
           C                 F                     C
 We didnt  have no money but I'm as rich as I could be
       C                      G              C 
 In my coat of many Colors my mamma made for me
       C                      G                   F  C
 In my coat of many Colors my mamma made just for me
