"TELL LORRIE I LOVE HER" Keith Whitley from the album _Greatest_Hits_ written by Keith Whitley This is a beautiful song that Keith recorded at his home studio in 1987. He fingerpicks the song, but I can't figure out the pattern he uses. If you know how to do it, please let me know. Anyway, here's the chords. Listen to the recording to get the timing down correctly. 1st verse:
GIf I were alone in the desert WithCout a drink of water aGround On Cmy knees and hands in that Gwhite, scorching sand With the hot Sahara sun beating Ddown If GI could be granted my wishes If Canything I want could come Gtrue CI know that it might sound Gfunny But Dhere's what I'd want you to Gdo
Chorus:
Tell Lorrie I Clove her Tell Lorrie I Gneed her Tell her Deverything would be okay If I could just Gsee her Tell Lorrie I Clove her Tell Lorrie I Gneed her If I Amleave this old world Tell her Dshe's the only girl for Gme
2nd verse: If I were adrift on the ocean A vessel with no sails or steam Floating aimlessly on and endless sea Hopelessly lost it would seem If all of the fish in the water Could echo my last dying plea I know you might not understand it But here's what I'd want it to be (chorus) If I leave this old world Tell her she's the only girl for me It's too bad Lorrie (Morgan) didn't believe him; if she had Keith Whitley might still be with us today.
