GC
Laura and Tommy were lovers,
GC
He wanted to give her everything,
EmAmDD7
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,
DD7
So to her mother Tommy said:
GEmAm
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her,
GAmD
Tell Laura, I may be late, I`ve got something to do
G
That cannot wait.
GC
He drove his car to the racing ground,
GC
He was the youngest driver there.
EmAm
The crowd roared as they started the race,
DD7
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,
DD7
With his dying breath they heard him say:
GEmAm
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her,
GAmD
Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her
G
Will never die.
GC
Now in the chapel Laura prays,
GC
For her Tommy who passed away,
EmAm
It was just for Laura he lived and died,
DD7
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry.
GEmAm
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her,
GAmD
Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her
G
Will never die.
