1. Laura and Tommy were lovers,
G C
he wanted to give her everything,
Em Am D D7
flowers, presents, and most of all a wedding-ring.
G C
2. 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,
D 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 got something to do,
D G
that cannot wait.
G C
3. 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,
D D7
round the track they drove at a deadly pace.
G C
4. 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,
D D7
with his dying breath they heard him say.
G Am
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her,
G Am D G
tell Laura not to cry, my love for her will never die.
G C
5. 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,
D D7
alone in the chapel she can hear him cry. + Chorus
