Daniel Johnston – Laurie (Guitar)

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 in person, but a memory

D                   G
With me will always stay
