[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Dm][Dsus4]
[Am][F][Dm][Am][F][Dm][Dsus4]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
On [Gsus2]the day that she was buri[Dsus4]ed[Dm][F][Am]
Her Daddy [Gsus2]stood out by the[G]
[Dsus4]cemetery [F]fence[Am]
Prayed to [Gsus2]God for forgive
[Dsus4]ness[F]
[Am]For surely all of this is pun[G]ishment
for my sins
[Dsus4][Dm][F]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
They put her [Gsus2]in the family
[D]garden[Dsus4][D][Dsus4][F]
[Am]Said you could hear [Gsus2]his heart
[G]bre[Dsus4]ak ing miles away[D][F][Am]
All [G]the men pitched in and
[Dsus4]bought a [Dm]marble ange[F]l
To [Am]mark the piece of [Gsus2]land
where [Dm]little [F]Bonnie lay

[Verse 3]
[Am]My Grandma said she would
[F]keep her in the morn[Dsus4]ings
So her [Am]Mama could sleep a bit
and [F]do the chores and [Dm]such
[Am]She'd read her stories about littl[F]e
girls and ma[Dm]gic powers
[Am]That would never let a [F]pretty angel hurt

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Her [Dsus4]Mama's alw[Am]ays[G]
been a beau[Dsus4]ty[F][Am]
She's still [G]beau[Gsus2]tiful to[Dsus4]
this [D]very [F]day[Am]
But they say [G]Bon[Gsus2]nie's crystal
[Dsus4]eyes put the [F]stars to shame
[Am]Maybe [G]heaven [Dsus4]needed Bonnie's fa[F]ce

[Verse 5]
[Am]My Grandma said she would ke[F]ep
her in the morn[Dsus4]ings
[Am]A swollen angel [F]who never
would com[Dm]plain
[Am]She'd read her stories about
[F]little girls and [Dsus4]prin cesses
Whose [Am]Daddy's don't feel punished for what
[F]heaven takes away
[Dsus4][C][Dsus4]

[Verse 6]
[Am]
Little [Gsus2]Bonnie never marri[Dsus4]ed[F][Am]
Little [Gsus2]Bonnie never even
[Dsus4]made it four[F][Am]
But I [G]grew up in her [Dsus4]pres
[D]ence[Dsus4][Dm][F]
Even [Am]though she was [G]gone
before [Dsus4]I'z born[Dm][F]
Even [Am]though she was gone be[G]fore I'z born
