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                      
Stands at the door and says
                           A
'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

[Chorus 1]
    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

[Verse 3]
     G
It's quarter-to-seven
     A            D
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

[Chorus 2]
    A    G  E    A
And they go dancin'
E
Around and around
    D       E
Without any cares
        A          E
And her very first true love
E              A
Is holding her close
          G
And for a moment
G     
She is unsca---red
