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' 

     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 

     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 

   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 

   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 

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