Coat Of Many Colors Cifras

COAT OF MANY COLORS by Dolly Parton
 
D
Back through the years I go wondering once again 
                          G
Back to the seasons of my youth 
  D
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us 
                                   G
And how my mamma put those rags to use 
           D
There were rags of many colors, and every piece was small 
                                    A
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall 
      D                                G
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love 
             D                       A               D
She made my coat of many colors 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 colors Joseph wore and then she said 
   D                                  G
Perhaps this coat will bring you much love and happiness 
           D
And I just couldn't wait to wear it 
          A                 D
And mamma blessed it with a kiss 
    G                          D
My coat of many colors that my mamma made for me 
G                          D           A
Made only from rags, but I wore it so proudly 
  D                            G
Although we had no money, oh I was rich as I could be 
      D                       A               D
In my coat of many colors, my mamma made for me

So with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes 
                            B7
In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school 
         E                           A
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me 
       E                       B7            E
In my coat of many colors, 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 every stitch 
      E                              A
And I told them all the story mamma told me while she sewed 
           E
And how my coat of many colors 
          B7                  E
was worth more than all their clothes 
         A                          E
But they didn't understand 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 had no money, but I was rich as I could be 
      E                       B7              E
In my coat of many colors, my mamma made for me 
 A            E
Made just for me...
