[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
