D           G 
Serabeth is scared to death 
D                            G 
To hear what the doctor will say 
D                              G 
She hasn't been well since the day that she fell 
D  
And the bruise it just won't 
   G    A 
Go aw---ay 
A  
So she sits and she waits 
         G 
With her mother and dad 
A                              C  A 
And flips through and old magazine 
A  
'Til the nurse with a smile 
G                      C 
Stands at the door 
                                        A
and says 'Will you please come with me?' 
D           G 
Serabeth is scared to death 
D                                 G 
'Cuz the doctor just told her the news 
D  
Between the red cells and white 
G 
Somethin's not right 
D                            G A 
But we're gonna take care of you 
    A                       G 
Six chances in ten it won't come back again 
         A                    C  A 
With the therapy we're gonnna try 
A 
It's just been aprooved 
G 
It's the strongest there is 
   C                          A 
'N I think we've caught it in time 
    D                   A 
And Serabeth closes her eyes 


    A   G            E   A 
And she dreams she's dancin' 
E  
Around and around 
D           E 
Without any cares 
        A          E 
And her very first love 
   E           A 
Is holding her close 
        G                        A 
And the soft wind is blowin' her hair

 
Verse 2 
D           G 
Serabeth is scared to death 
   D                    G 
As she sits holding her mom 
              D 
'Cuz it would be a mistake  
    G 
For someone to take 
  D                        G  A 
A girl with no hair to the prom 
A 
For just this morin'  
      G 
Right there on her pillow  
        A                  C    A 
Was the cruelest of any surprise 
        A 
And she cried as she gathered it 
G 
All in her hands 
    C                       A 
The proof that she couldn't deny 
    D                   A 
And Serabeth closes her eyes

That boy's at the door 
    G                    D 
And her daddy ushers him in 
            G 
And when he takes off his cap 
     A            D 
They all start to cry 
          G                         A 
'Cuz this moring where his hair had been 
G                  C    A 
Softly she touches just skin
