When GDaddy told me what Fhappened
I Ccouldn't believe what he just Gsaid
Sonny shot himself with a F44  and they Cfound him lyin  on his Gbed
GI could not speak a Fsingle word  no Ctears streamed down my Gface
I just Gsat there on the Fliving room couch  Cstaring off into Gspace
GMama and Daddy went Fover to the house to Csee what had to be Gdone
They took the sheets off Fof the bed  and Cthey went to call Gsomeone
Some of us gathered at a Ffriend's house to Chelp each other ease theG  
pain
GI just sat alone in a Fcorner chair  I Ccouldn't say much of aGnything
GWe drove on out to the Fcountry
His Cfriends all stood aGround
GSubiaco FCemetery Cis where we lay him Gdown
I saw his mama, she was Fstanding there  his Csister she was there Gtoo
I saw them look at us standing Faround the grave and Cnot a soul theyG  
knew
GBorn and raised in PinFeola  his Cmama believed in the PentecGost
She got the preacher to say some Fwords so his Csoul wouldn't get Glost
GSome of us   we stood in Fsilence  some Cbowed their heads and Gprayed
G                             F                   C
GI think I must've picked up a handful of dust and let it fall over his
grave
G                             F                   C
GI think I must've picked up a handful of dust and let it fall over his
grave
