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

   Am            D7         G
My love for her  will never die
