When Daddy told me what happened
C G
I couldn't believe what he just said
F C G
Sonny shot himself with a 44 and they found him lyin on his bed
G F C G
I could not speak a single word no tears streamed down my face
G F C G
I just sat there on the living room couch staring off into space
G F C G
Mama and Daddy went over to the house to see what had to be done
F C G
They took the sheets off of the bed and they went to call someone
F C G
Some of us gathered at a friend's house to help each other ease the
pain
G F C G
I just sat alone in a corner chair I couldn't say much of anything
G F
We drove on out to the country
C G
His friends all stood around
G F C G
Subiaco Cemetery is where we lay him down
F C G
I saw his mama, she was standing there his sister she was there too
F C G
I saw them look at us standing around the grave and not a soul they
knew
G F C G
Born and raised in Pineola his mama believed in the Pentecost
F C G
She got the preacher to say some words so his soul wouldn't get lost
SOLO
G F C G
Some of us we stood in silence some bowed their heads and prayed
G F C
G
I think I must've picked up a handful of dust and let it fall over his
grave
G F C
G
I think I must've picked up a handful of dust and let it fall over his
grave
