1. [A]Laura and Tommy were [D]lovers
[A]He wanted to give her [D]everything
[F#m]Flowers, presents and [Bm]most of all, a wedding [E7]ring
[A]He saw a sign for a [D]stock car race
[A]A thousand dollar [D]prize it read
He [F#m]couldn't get Laura on the [Bm]phone
So to her [E7]mother, Tommy said
[A]Tell Laura I love her, Tell Laura I [Bm]need her
Tell Laura I [A]may be late
I've [Bm]something to do, [E7]that can not [A]wait
2. [A]He drove his car to the [D]racing grounds
[A]He was the youngest [D]driver there
The crowed [F#m]roared as they started the race
Around the [Bm]track they drove at a [E7]deadly pace
[A]No one knows what [D]happened that day
[A]Or how his car over [D]turned in flames
But [F#m]as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With [Bm]his dying breath, they [E7]heard him say
[A]Tell Laura I love her, Tell Laura I [Bm]need her
Tell Laura [A]not to cry
My [Bm]love for her [E7]will never [A]die
3.. [A]Now in the chapel where [D]Laura prays
[A]For her poor Tommy, who [D]passed away
It was [F#m]just for Laura he lived and [Bm]died
Alone in the chapel she can [E7]hear him cry
[A]Tell Laura I love her, Tell Laura I [Bm]need her
Tell Laura [A]not to cry
My [Bm]love for her [E7]will never [A]die
