Jeannie's Afraid Of The Dark
Written and recorded by Dolly Parton with Porter Wagoner

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
