[Bb/Bb] Laura and Tommy were lovers[Eb/Eb]

He wanted to give her [Eb/Eb]everything

Flowers, presen[Eb/Eb]ts, and most of all a wedding ring

[Bb/Bb]He saw a sign for a [Eb/Eb]stock car race

[Bb/Bb]A thousand dollar [Eb/Eb]prize, it read

He couldn’t get Laura [Eb/Eb]on the phone,

So to her mother Tommy said,

[Bb/Bb]Tell Laura i love her

[Bb/Bb]Tell Laura i need her

Tell Laura I [Bb/Bb]may be late

[Eb/Eb]I’ve something to do… that cannot wait

[Bb/Bb]He drove his car to the [Eb/Eb]racing ground

[Bb/Bb]He was the youngest [Eb/Eb]driver there

And the crowd roared as they [Eb/Eb]started the race

‘Round the track, they drove at a deadly pace

[Bb/Bb]No one knows what [Eb/Eb]happened that day

[Bb/Bb]How his car over[Eb/Eb]turned in flames

But as they pulled him from the [Eb/Eb]twisted wreck

With his dying breath, they heard him say

[Bb/Bb]Tell Laura i love her

[Bb/Bb]Tell Laura i need her

Tell Laura [Bb/Bb]not to cry

[Eb/Eb]My love for her will never die

[Bb/Bb]And in the chapel [Eb/Eb]where Laura prays

[Bb/Bb]For her Tommy who [Eb/Eb]passed away

It was just for Laura, he liv[Eb/Eb]ed and died

Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

[Bb/Bb]Tell Laura i love her

[Bb/Bb]Tell Laura i need her

Tell Laura [Bb/Bb]not to cry

[Eb/Eb]My love for her will never die
