[Intro]
G    C  D

[Verse]
   G
I ain't no dumb blond
            C
And when I wanted a dog
        G
I sang Cracker Jack
          G
And when I'm feeling
all alone
        C
I sing Two Doors Down
          D
And I go have a ball

Em                   G
I feel like a coffin in
        C
I sing Coat Of Many Colors
        G
I feel better again
              G
And with her voice
 stuck in my head
        C        D
I sing Here You Come Again

[Chorus]
 G
Dear Dolly Parton

I don’t know what to do
     C
I’m stuck here crying
       G
And I feel like a fool
        Em
'Cause life’s fighting me
         G
And I’m not fighting back
    C
So come and help me
        D
Get it back on the track
 Em
Tell me how you did it
        Bm
Tell me how you got through
     C
The bad parts of life
      G
That challenged you
       Em
'Cause I’m so lost
           G
Won’t you come and find me
     C
Oh, come and sing to me
 D
Come and find me
    G  G  C  D
Dolly

[Verse]
         G
When my four to eleven
 stress me
       C
I sing 9 To 5 and
         G
 I feel wild and free

             G
And when my boy's being
 weird again
        C            D
I sing Jolene don't take
 my man

Dolly

[Break]
          G
I didn't grow up
by the Smokies
         C
But I'm growing a dream
             G
though you better believe it
      G
Even though I don't
want a big head
   C       D
I want to make it there

Dear Dolly Parton

You have saved my life

I can't thank you enough

         G
And I’m finally
fighting back

You're the one
who helped me

Get it back on track

All your songs tell me
 Bm
 how you got through
     C
The bad parts of life
      G
That challenged you

      Em
Your spirit covers me
          G
Like the waves on a beach

Come and sing to me

Shine your light on me

 then I feel like a fool
