Verse 1:
G
Once I saw the most beautiful girl
C               G
Sitting next to me
  C              G
I asked her what was her name
    D               G
She said it was 'Laurie'

Verse 2:
    G
She worked at the store and I opened that door
C                G
Just to see her face
    C                      G
She always made me feel at home
  D                 G
I never felt out of place

Verse 3:
    G
But she already had a boyfriend
   C              G
An undertaker was he
    C        G
And they got married
    D            G
And had a little baby

Verse 4:
  G
I became obsessed with death, my friend
C                               G
Certain that it would happen to me
    C                 G
And I would be in the hands
   D       G
Of my dear Laurie

Verse 5:
  G
I can't explain such love aflame
  C           G
I overcame victorious
C                         G
Filled my heart with such desire
   D            G
So grand and so glorious

Verse 6:
G
Laurie, sweet, an angel dear
   C            G
Is here with me today
C                    G
Not in person, but a memory
D                   G
With me will always stay
