Her two little [G]
feet would [C] come running [G] into [F] our bedroom almost every [C] night
[G]
Her [C] soft [G] little face would [C] be wet from [G] her tears [F] and her little heart pounding [C] with pride
She'd hold [G] out her arms then [C] she'd climb and [G]
beside us [F] in a small voice we'd hear her [C] remark
[F] Mommy and Daddy [C] can I sleep here with you [G] cause Jeannie's afraid of [C] the dark
One day [G] in the summer [C] we took [G] some flowers [F] to place on some old [C] family graves
Jeannie [G] said Mommy [C] ain't it dark [G] in the ground [F] oh Daddy I'd be [C] so afraid
Then [G] she looked up at [C] her Daddy [G] and me and [F] said something that broke [C] both our hearts
[F] She said when I die [C] please don't bury me [G] cause Jeannie's afraid [C] of the dark

Jeannie was always [G] afraid of the dark and we [D] never could understand [A]
why
[D] Cause we [A] looked after Jeannie [D] with the very [A] best of care [G] cause Jeannie was our [D] only child
[A] Perhaps it was death [D] that she was [A] so afraid of [G] cause it took her one [D] dark stormy night
I [G] think we always knew [D] that we'd never see Jeannie [Bm] grown [A] cause it seemed she [D] was destined to die
But [A] on Jeannie's grave [D] we placed an [A] eternal flame [G] that glows and never [D] loses its spark
[G] And on the darkest night there's [D] always a light cause [A] Jeannie's afraid [D] of the dark
[A] Are Jeannie's afraid [D] of the dark?
