Laurie Chords & Lyrics - Daniel Johnston

[VERSE 1]
[G]Once I saw the most beautiful girl
[C]Sitting next to [G]me
I [C]asked her what [G]was her name
She [D]said it was 'Lau[G]rie'

[VERSE 2]
She [G]worked at the store and I opened that door
[C]Just to see her f[G]ace
She [C]always made me feel at [G]home
I [D]never felt out of [G]place

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

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

[VERSE 5]
I [G]can't explain such love aflame
I [C]overcame vic[G]torious
[C]Filled my heart with such [G]desire
So [D]grand and so [G]glorious

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