"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:
GG Piano Chord 

If I were alone in the desert
CC Piano Chord 
                     GG Piano Chord 

Without a drink of water around
CC Piano Chord 
                          GG Piano Chord 

On my knees and hands in that white, scorching sand
DD Piano Chord 

With the hot Sahara sun beating down
GG Piano Chord 

If I could be granted my wishes
CC Piano Chord 
                          GG Piano Chord 

If anything I want could come true
CC Piano Chord 
                          GG Piano Chord 

I know that it might sound funny
DD Piano Chord 
                           GG Piano Chord 

But here's what I'd want you to do

Chorus:
CC Piano Chord 

Tell Lorrie I love her
GG Piano Chord 

Tell Lorrie I need her
DD Piano Chord 

Tell her everything would be okay
GG Piano Chord 

If I could just see her
CC Piano Chord 

Tell Lorrie I love her
GG Piano Chord 

Tell Lorrie I need her
AmAm Piano Chord 

If I leave this old world
DD Piano Chord 
                       GG Piano Chord 

Tell her she's the only girl for me

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.
