[Intro]
D   G   D   A   G
[Verse 1]
DSara Beth is sGcared to deDath,
To hear what the doctor will sGay,
She hDasn't been well, since the dGay that she fDell,
and the bruise that just D/F#won't go aGway,
[Pre-Chorus]
        F#m(or A/C#)                 G  
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad,
                   D(Dsus4)     A  
And flips through an  old   magazine,
          F#m(or A/C#)           G  
Till the nurse with the sm-ile stands at the door, 
and Em7says will you please come with Ame,
[Verse 2]
SDara Beth is scGared to deDath,
Cause the doctor just tAold her the nGews,
Between the rDed cells and white,
SGomethin's not rDight but we're gonna take care of yGou,
[Pre-Chorus]
      F#m(or A/C#)           G  
Six chances in Ten it won't come back again,
                       D(Dsus4)   A  
With the therapy we're   gonna   try,
      F#m(or A/C#)                G  
It's just been approved it's the strongest there is,
                      Em7   A- Asus4  
I think we caught it in time,
Em7Sara Beth closes her eyAes,
[Chorus]
AShe drDeams she's A/C#dan--cDin' 
AF#mround and ArEound wiBmthout any cEares
And her vAery first A/Glove is D/F#holding her Dmclose,
And the sAoft winds blEowin' her hAair,
[Verse 3]
DSara Beth is sGcared to deDath,
As she sits hAolding her mGom,
Cause it would Dbe a mistake for sGomeone to tDake,
A girl with no hair to the Gprom,
[Pre-Chorus]
      F#m(or A/C#)          G  
Oh just this morning right there on her pillow,
                  D(Dsus4)   A  
Was the cruelest of  any  surprise,
        F#m(or A/C#)              G  
And she cried as she gathered it all in her hands,
                          Em7   A- Asus4  
The proof that she couldn't deny,
Em7Sara Beth closes her eyAes,
[Chorus]
AShe drDeams she's A/C#dan--cDin' 
AF#mround and ArEound wiBmthout any cEares
And her vAery first A/Glove is D/F#holding her Dmclose,
And the sAoft winds blEowin' her hAair,
[Bridge]
It's quEm7arter till seven, that bD/F#oy's at the door,
And her dGaddy ushers him D/F#in,
But when Em7he takes off his cap, they D/F#all start to cry,
Cause this mGornin' where his hair had D/F#been,
GSoftly she touches just sAkin,
[Chorus]
AThey Dgo A/C#dan--cDin' 
AF#mround and ArEound wiBmthout any cEares
And her vAery first A/Glove is D/F#holding her cDmlose,
       N.C.                 A     D  A  
For a moment she's unscared,
