#35 in 1967. 

#1. 
F                 Bb                 F 
Laura, hold these hands and count my fingers. 
                   Bb            F 
Laura, touch these lips you once desired. 
F7       Bb           C7             F        Am Dm 
Lay your head upon my chest, hear my heartbeat, 
G7                                 C    C7 C6 C 
Gently run your fingers through my hair. 

#2. 
F                     Bb               F 
Touch these ears that listened to your wishes. 
                Bb                   F 
Most of them fulfilled, and that's a lot. 
F7       Bb          C7              F   Am Dm 
Let your soft gentle hands caress my body. 
         Gm                C7               F 
And then tell me what he's got that I ain't got. 

Chorus: 
Bb                C                F 
Tell me what he's got that I can't give you. 
Bb                   C              F 
It must be something I was born without. 
    Bb            C         F       Am      Dm 
You took an awful chance to be with another man, 
    Gm                C7               F   Am Dm C7 
So, tell me what he's got that I ain't got. 

#3. 
F                Bb                     F 
Laura, see these walls that I built for you. 
                Bb            F    F7 
Laura, see this carpet that I laid. 
Bb              C7              F      Am Dm 
See those fancy curtains on the windows. 
G7                                C   C7 C6 C 
Touch those satin pillows on your bed. 

#4. 
F                Bb              F 
Laura, count the dresses in your closet. 
                       Bb                F 
Note the name upon the checkbook in your bag. 
F7  Bb                C7               F      Am Dm 
And if there's time before I pull this trigger, 
     Gm                C7               F 
then tell me what he's got that I ain't got. 

Chorus: 
Bb                C                F 
Tell me what he's got that I can't give you. 
Bb                   C              F 
It must be something I was born without. 
    Bb            C         F       Am      Dm 
You took an awful chance to be with another man, 
    Gm                C7               F   Am Dm C7 F 
So, tell me what he's got that I ain't got.
