Death Of Little Kathy Fiscus chords

Capo 1st Fret

Intro: Follow pattern of first line in first verse*

[C]On April the 8th, the [G]year forty- [C] -nine [C7]
Death [F]claimed a little child, so pure and so [C]fine [C7]
[F]Kathy they called her, met her doom that [C]day
*I know it was God, that [G]called her a- [C] -way

Playmates of Kathy, were [G]all havin' [C]fun [C7]
The [F]story was told, they all started to [C]run [C7]
And [F]as they looked back, she wasn't [C]there
It's so sad to think of this [G]tragic af- [C] -fair

Just like a beast in a [G]forest that [C]day [C7]
The [F]abandoned well, took Kathy a- [C] -way [C7]
For [F]over two days, the well was her [C]tomb
**Everyone kept prayin' they'd [G]get her out [C]soon

[C]Thousands were there, from [G]far and from [C]near [C7]
[F]Work men they struggled, against sadness and [C]tears [C7]
But [F]after two days, their hopes grew so [C]weak
**They called down to Kathy but she [G]never did [C]speak

Instrumental: Follow pattern of line just finished**

After working so hard, [G]both day and [C]night [C7]
[F]Digging for hours, she came into [C]sight [C7]
The little [F]darlin' was dead, her life it was [C]gone
Now in San Merino, there's a [G]heart broken [C]home

I'm sure she's an angel, in [G]God's peaceful [C]fold [C7]
[F]Playing with children, in a mansion of [C]gold [C7]
As [F]I stand alone, humbly I [C]bow
I know Kathy's happy, up [G]there with God [C]now
