COAT OF MANY COLOURS by Dolly Parton
 D MajorD
Back through the years I go wondering once again

              G+G
Back to the seasons of my/ youth

   D MajorD
I / recall a box of rags that someone gave us

                   G+G
And how my mamma put those rags to/ use

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

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

    D MajorD                  G+G
Mamma/ sewed the rags together, sewing/ every piece with love

        D MajorD              A augmentedA         D MajorD
She made my/ coat of many colours,that/ I was so proud of

 D MajorD
As she sewed she told the story from the Bible she had read

                   A augmentedA
About a coat of many colours Joseph/ wore and then she said

   D MajorD                   G+G
Per/haps this coat will bring you ,much/ love and happiness

       D MajorD
And I just/ couldn't wait to wear it

      A augmentedA          D MajorD
And mamma/ blessed it with a kiss

   G+G              D MajorD
My coat of many colours that/ mamma made for me

 G+G            D MajorD          A augmentedA
Made only rags,but I/ wore it so proud/ly

  D MajorD               G+G
Al/though we had no money.oh I/ was rich as I could be

    D MajorD             A augmentedA         D MajorD
In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for me

(CHANGE KEY HERE)
 E MajorE
So with patches on my breeches and holes in both my shoes

                B7B7
In my coat of many colours,I/ hurried off to school

      E MajorE               A augmentedA
Just to/ find the others laughing and/ makin' fun of me

     E MajorE             B7B7        E MajorE
In my/ coat of many colours,my/ mamma made for/ me


Oh,I couldn't understand it,for I felt I was rich
                    B7B7
And I told them of the love my mamma/ sewed in ever stitch

    E MajorE                 A augmentedA
And I/ told them all the story mamma/ told me while she sewed

       E MajorE
And how my/ coat of many colours

      B7B7            E MajorE
Was worth/ more than all of their clothes

    A augmentedA               E MajorE
They/ didn't understand it and I/ tried to make them see

    A augmentedA            E MajorE          B7B7
That/ one is only poor only/ if they choose to be

    E MajorE                  A augmentedA
Now I/ know we have no money,but I'm was/ rich as I could be

    E MajorE              B7B7         E MajorE
In my/ coat of many colours, my/ mamma made for me

 A augmentedA       E MajorE
Yeah just for me.....
