 Intro: F   Bb     F

 F                Bm7-5        Bb/C    C
Last night at the dance I met Laurie
     F         Am      Bb         Bb/C  C
So lovely and warm, an angel of a girl
      F               F7        Bb      Bbm
Last night I fell in love with Laurie
  F/C           Dm             Gm7   Bb/C  C 
Strange things happen in this world


F/C            Bm7-5            Bb/C       C
As I walked her home she said it was her birthday
     F            Am         Bb             Bb/C    C
I pulled her close and said, "will I see you anymore"
      F               F7        Bb      Bbm
Then suddenly she asked for my sweater
    F/C       Dm      Gm7    C    F    F7
And said that she was very, very cold

I kissed her goodnight at her door and started home
       Bb                          F                 F7
Then thought about my sweater and went right back instead
    Bb                       F     Dm
I knocked at her door and a man appeared
G7                           Bb/C   C
I told why I'd come, then he said


F/C              Bm7-5          Bb/C      C
You're wrong, son, you weren't with my daughter
     F         Am       Bb            Bb/C  C
How can you be so cruel to come to me this way
      F               F7           Bb      Bbm
My Laurie left this world on her birthday
    F/C     Dm       Gm    Am   D7
She died a year ago today


     G         C#m7-5           C/D       D
A strange force drew me to the graveyard
    G           Bm      C              C/D   D 
I stood in the dark, I saw the shadows wave
     G                G7       C      Cm/Eb
And then I looked and saw my sweater
G/D     C              G    G7  
Lying there upon her grave
