Tommy and Laura were lovers, 
G  C 
He wanted to give her everything, 
Am  D7 
Flowers, presents and most of all a wedding ring. 
 
G  C 
He saw a sign for a stock car race, 
G  C 
А thousand dollar prize it read, 
Am   
He couldn’t get Laura on the phone, so to his mother Tommy said 
 
G  Am
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her, 
G  Am 
Tell Laura I might be late, I’ve something to do, 
D7  G 
That just can’t wait. 
 
G  C 
He drove his car to the racing grounds, 
G  C 
He was the youngest driver there, 
C  Am 
The crowd roared as they started to race, 
D7 
Round the track they drove at a deadly pace. 
 
G  C 
No-one knows what happened that day, 
G  C 
How his car overturned into flames, 
Am 
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck, 
D7 
With his dying breath they heard him say, 
 
G  Am 
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her, 
G  Am 
Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her, 
D7  G 
Will never die. 
 
G  C 
Now in the chapel Laura prays 
G  C 
For her Tommy who passed away, 
Am 
It was just for Laura he lived and died, 
D7   
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry, 
G  Am 
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her, 
G  Am 
Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her, 
D7  G 
Will never die. 
Am  D7  G 
My love for her will never die.
