[Dm] On [C] the day that she [F] was buried, _ _ _ her daddy [C] stood out by [G] the [Dm] cemetery fence and prayed
[C] to God for [Dm] forgiveness, [Bb] _ [Dm]
as if this [C] was punishment for [Dm] sin. _ _ _
_ [C] Later in the family [G] garden, [Bb] _ _ _
[Dm] you [C] could hear his heart [G] a-breaking miles [Dm] away.
All [C] the men pitched [Gm] in and bought a marble [Bb] [Dm] angel to mark the piece [C] of land [Gm] where little [Dm] Bonnie [Bb] lay. _
[Dm] _ Grandma said she would keep her in [A] the morning [Dm] so her mama could sleep a [F] bit and through the
doors and [Gm] such, [Dm] read her stories [Bb] about little girls [Dm] and magic powers that would never ever
let a pretty angel [Gm] hurt her. _
[Dm] _ [C] Mama's always [Dm] been a beauty. _ _ _
She's [C] still beautiful [G] to [Dm] this very day.
They [C] say Bonnie's [G] crystal [Dm] eyes put the stars to shame.
Maybe [C] heaven [Gm] needed [Dm] Bonnie's face.
_ Grandma said she would keep her in the morning so an angel never would complain.
She'd read her stories about [G] little girls and princesses [Dm] whose daddies don't feel punished
for [Bb] what heaven takes [Dm] away. _
_ [C] Little Bonnie [D] never married.
[Bb] _ _
[Dm] _ [C] Little Bonnie [G] never even made [F] it for her.
_ [G] But I grew up in her presence.
[Dm] _
Then though she was [C] gone [Dm] before I was born. _
Then though [F] she was gone before [G] I was born.
