Dolly Parton – Jeannies Afraid Of The Dark (Guitar)

C                G7              C       G7
Her two little feet would come running into

    F        C            G7
Our bedroom almost every night

    C           G7            C            G7
Her soft little face would be wet from her tears

        F                           C
And her little heart pounding with fright

                   G7             C        G7
She'd hold out her arm then she'd climb in beside us

        F                        C
With a small voice we'd hear her remark

F                   C
Mommy and daddy can I sleep here with you

      G7                      C
Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark

               G7     C            G7
One day in the summer we took some flowers

   F                        C   G7
To place on some old family grave

C            G7             C           G7
Jeannie said mommy ain't it dark in the ground

   F               C
Oh daddy I'd be so afraid

                G7         C        G7
Then she looked up at her daddy and me

         F                              C
And said something that broke both our hearts

         F                 C
She said when I die please don't bury me

      G7                      C
Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark

            G7                   F
Jeannie was always afraid of the dark

       C                      G7
And we never could understand why

C               G7
Cause we looked after Jeannie

C                     G7
With the very best of care

F                          C
Cause Jeannie was our only child

           G7        C                      G7
Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of

F                                 C
Cause it took her one dark stormy night

  F                         C
I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown

G7                           C
Cause it seemed that she was destined to die

       G7              C            G7
But on Jeannie's grave we placed an eternal flame

F                    C
That glows and never loses its spark

    F                            C
And on the darkest night there's always a light

      G7                      C
Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark

    G7                      C
Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
