Jeannies Afraid Of The Dark chords by Dolly Parton

• Difficulty: Beginner

🎸 Verse 1:
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

🎸 Verse 2:
        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

🎸 Verse 3:

      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

🎸 Outro:
  G7           C
Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
