[Verse]
Bb G Bb                    
■  ■ Back through the years
     Bb                  
I go wonderin' once again
                       Eb      
Back to the seasons of my youth
  Bb                                       
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
                              Eb    
And how my momma put the rags to use
           Bb                 
There were rags of many colors
    Bb                   
But every piece was small
      Bb                
And I didn't have a coat
           F                   
And it was way down in the fall
Bb                           
Momma sewed the rags together
Eb                          
Sewin' every piece with love
            Bb                 
She made my coat of many colors
F             Bb      
That I was so proud of
       Bb                    
As she sewed she told a story
         Bb                
From the Bible she had read
        Bb                 
About a coat of many colors
F7                           
Joseph wore and then she said
Bb                              
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Eb                     
Good luck and happiness
           Bb                      
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
          F                 Bb  
And momma blessed it with a kiss


[Chorus]
Eb                    
My coat of many colors
        Bb               
That my momma made for me
Eb                 
Made only from rags
      Bb         F7     
But I wore it so proudly
Bb                      
Although we had no money
      Eb                
I was rich as I could be
      Bb                 
In my coat of many colors
F7                Bb G7
My momma made for me ■ 


[Verse]
        C                     
So with patches on my britches
    C                     
And holes in both my shoes
      C                  
In my coat of many colors
G                      
I hurried off to school
        C                       
Just to find the others laughing
F                   
And making fun of me
      C                  
In my coat of many colors
G                 C 
My momma made for me
         C                     
And oh I couldn't understand it
                 C   
For I felt I was rich
      C                   
And I told 'em of the love
         G                    
My momma sewed in every stitch
      C                     
And I told 'em all the story
      F                      
Momma told me while she sewed
           C                  
And how my coat of many colors
    G                   C            
Was worth more than all their clothes


[Chorus]
         F                   
But they didn't understand it
      C                     
And I tried to make them see
F                    
That one is only poor
C                   G7   
Only if they choose to be
      C                   
Now I know we had no money
          F                 
But I was rich as I could be
      C                  
In my coat of many colors
G             F     
My momma made for me
          C     
Made just for me
