Coat Of Many Colors

COAT OF MANY COLOURS by Dolly Parton

Back through the years I go wondering once again

Back to the seasons of my/ youth

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

And how my mamma put these rags to/ use

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And mamma/ blessed it with a kiss

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

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

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

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

(CHANGE CORDS HERE)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

sewed

And how my/ coat of many colours

is worth/ more than all of their clothes

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

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

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

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

Yeah just for me.....

Cheers!!!
