Tommy and Laura were lovers
GC
He wanted to give her everything
EmAmD7
Flowers presents and most of all a wedding ring
GC
He saw a sign for a stock car race
GC
A thousand dollar prize it read
EmAm
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
D7
So to her mother Tommy said
GAm
Tell Laura I love her tell Laura I need her
GAm
Tell Laura I may be late I've something to do
D7G
That cannot wait
C
He drove his car to the racing ground
GC
He was the youngest driver there
EmAm
The crowd roared as they started the race
D7
Round the track they drove at a deadly pace
GC
No-one knows what happened that day
GC
How his car overturned in flames
EmAm
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
D7
With his dying breath they heard him say
GAm
Tell Laura I love her tell Laura I need her
GAm
Tell Laura not to cry my love for her
D7G
Will never die
C
Now in the chapel Laura prays
GC
For her Tommy who passed away
EmAm
It was just for Laura he lived and died
D7
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
GAm
Tell Laura I love her tell Laura I need her
GAm
Tell Laura not to cry my love for her
D7G
Will never die
AmD7G
My love for her will never die
