Intro: D - G - D - A - G

(verse 1)
D             G          D
Sara Beth is scared to death,
                              G
To hear what the doctor will say,
     D                           G            D
She hasn't been well, since the day that she fell,
                         D/F#      G
and the bruise that just won't go away,



(pre-cho)
       F#m (or A/C#)                 G
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad,
      D             (D4)     A
And flips through an  old   magazine,
         F#m (or A/C#)           G
Till the nurse with the sm-ile stands at the door, 
    Em7                            A
and says will you please come with me,



(verse 2)
 D             G         D
Sara Beth is scared to death,
                       A            G
Cause the doctor just told her the news,
             D
Between the red cells and white,
 G              D                                  G
Somethin's not right but we're gonna take care of you,



(pre-cho)
     F#m (or A/C#)           G
Six chances in Ten it won't come back again,
            D           (D4)   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 - A4
I think we caught it in time,
Em7                    A
Sara BEth closes her eyes,


(chorus)
A     D          A/C#  D
She dreams she's dan--cin' 
 F#m         E      Bm         E
Around and Around without any cares
         A         A/G     D/F#        Dm
And her very first love is holding her close,
         A           E          A
And the soft winds blowin' her hair,



(verse 3)
D             G          D
Sara Beth is scared to death,
             A           G
As she sits holding her mom,
               D                 G          D
Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take,
                           G
A girl with no hair to the prom,



(pre-chorus)
     F#m (or A/C#)          G
Oh just this morning right there on her pillow,
            D      (D4)   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 - A4
The proof that she couldn't deny,
Em7                    A
Sara BEth closes her eyes,




(chorus)
A     D          A/C#  D
She dreams she's dan--cin' 
 F#m         E      Bm         E
Around and Around without any cares
         A         A/G     D/F#        Dm
And her very first love is holding her close,
         A           E          A
And the soft winds blowin' her hair,



(bridge)
       Em7                     D/F#
It's quarter till seven, that boy's at the door,
         G               D/F#
And her daddy ushers him in,
         Em7                        D/F#
But when he takes off his cap, they all start to cry,
            G                         D/F#
Cause this mornin' where his hair had been,
G                        A
Softly she touches just skin,



(chorus)
A    D  A/C#  D
They go dan--cin' 
 F#m         E      Bm         E
Around and Around without any cares
         A         A/G     D/F#         Dm
And her very first love is holding her close,
   ( NO    CHORDS  )     A - D - A
For a moment she's unscared,
