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
