Dolly Parton — Coat of Many Colours

    	    	Вступление

G 
Back through the years I go wondering once again 
 	                    C 
Back to the seasons of my youth 
    G 
I recall a box of rags someone gave us 
 	                            C 
And how my mamma put those rags to use 
 	     G 
There were rags of many Colours and every piece was small 
 	                              D	                        
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall 
 	G	                         C 
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love 
	      G                       D	            G 
She made my coat of many Colours that I was so proud of. 
 
 	 G 
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read 
 	                               D 
About a coat of many Colours Joseph wore and then she said 
G	                                C 
Perhaps this coat will bring you good luck and happiness 
             G                                  D	         G 
And I just couldn't wait to wear it and mamma blessed it with a kiss 
 
      C	                             G 
My  coat of many Colours that my mamma made for me 
 C	                   G             D 
Made from only rags but I wore it so proudly 
 G	                         C 
Although we had no money, I was rich as I could be 
 	G	               D	      G 
In my coat of many Colours my mamma made for me 
 
Key Change 
 
A 
 So with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes 
 	                        E 
In my coat of many Colours, I hurried off to school 
 	 A	                      D 
Just to find the others laughing and making fun of me 
 	 A	                  E	        A 
In my coat of many Colours that mamma made for me 
 
 A 
Well, I didn't understand it for I felt that I was rich 
 	                               E 
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in every stitch 
 A                                D 
I told them all the story mamma told me while she sewed 
 	    A 
And how my coat of many Colours 
 	   E	                A 
Was worth more than all their clothes. 
 
       D	                  A 
They didn't understand it and I tried to make them see 
 	D	             A	              E 
 That one is only poor only if they choose to be 
 A	                              D              A 
It’s true, we had no money but I was rich as I could be 
        A	                 E	        D 
In my coat of many Colours that mamma made for me 
 	         A 
…..Made just for me .
