OK, I had *sworn* that I wasn`t going to submit this weeper to Andrew`s
Ace Archives even as a joke (should I wait for April Fool`s Day or
Halloween?) - but no sooner had I acquired a copy on the COLLECTOR`S
ESSENTIALS: THE `60S comp than it was mentioned in Rev. Billy C. Wirtz`s
`Backside` column (`During the early Sixties Dickie Lee was the king of
the splatter platter`) in the 3/97 issue of _Musician_ magazine. (Fer
chrissakes, the lyrics are even *quoted in full* in Brunvand`s _The Mexican
Pet_!) This kozmic konfluence of events convinced me of the error of my
ways:

"Laurie (Strange Things Happen)"
(Milton C. Addington)

Intro:

(RMI or Baldwin electric harpsichord; band enters 3rd bar)

F Bb F
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

F [2,3: F/C] 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

Verse 2:

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

Bridge:

Bb F
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

Verse 3:

You`re wrong, son, you weren`t with my daughter
How can you be so cruel to come to me this way
My Laurie left this world on her birthday
F/C Dm Gm Am D7
She died a year ago today

[key change to G]

Verse 4:

G Cm7-5 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

Coda:

C D C [N.C.] G
Strange things happen in this... world
