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