              Sissy?s Song 
 
F C Bb C F C Bb C 
 
F Why did she have to go  
C So young I just don't know why  
Bb Things happen half the time  
C Without reason without rhyme 
F  Lovely, sweet young woman 
C Daughter, wife and mother 
Bb Makes no sense to me 
C I just have to believe 
 
Chorus 
She F flew up to Heaven on the C wings of angels 
By the Bb clouds and stars and passed where C no one sees 
And she F walks with Jesus and her C loved ones waiting 
And I Bb know she's smiling saying 
C Don't worry 'bout F me 
 
C Bb C   
F Loved ones she left behind 
C Just trying to survive  
Bb And understand the why 
C Feeling so lost inside 
F Anger shot straight at God 
C Then asking for His love 
Bb Empty with disbelief  
C Just hoping that maybe 
 
Chorus 
 
C Bb C   
F It's hard to say goodbye 
C Her picture in my mind 
Bb Will always be of times I'll cherish 
C And I won't cry 'cause 
 
Chorus  
Tag 
C Don't worry 'bout F me 
C Don?t worry 'bout F me
