Back through the years I go wondering once again
                          F
Back to the seasons of my youth
     C
I re call a box of rags that someone gave us
                                   F  
And how my mamma put these rags to use


           C
There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
                                    G
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
      C                               F
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love
            C                          G              C
She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of


C
As she sewed she told the stories from the bible she had read
                                    G
About a coat of many colours Joseph wore and they she said
   C                                   F
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
           C
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
          G                 C
And mamma blessed it with a kiss


    F                         C
My. coat of many colours that mamma made for me
F                          C               G
Made only from rags, but I wore it so proudly
  C                                F
Although we had no money. Oh I was rich as I could be
      C                        G              C
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me

So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
                              A7
In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school
        D                            G
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me
      D                        A7             D
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me

Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich
                                     A7
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
      D                                G
And I told them all the stories, mamma told me while she sewed
           D
And how my coat of many colours
          A7                     D
Was worth more than all of their clothes


     G                           D
They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see
     G                     D                 A7
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
      D                                 G
Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be
      D                        A7             D
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
G             D
Yeah just for me.....
