[Verse]
G                    C 
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
[Verse]
G                   C 
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        (D/D/D/D7) 
So to her mother, Tommy said
[Chorus]
G 
Tell Laura I love her 
             Am 
Tell Laura I need her 
             G 
Tell Laura I may be late 
     Am              D            G 
I've something to do, that cannot wait
[Verse]
   G                    C 
He drove his car to the racing grounds 
   G                C 
He was the youngest driver there 
    Em                    Am 
The crowed roared as they started the race 
           D                     D7         (D/D/D/D7) 
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
[Verse]
G                 C 
No one knows what happened that day 
   G               C 
Or how his car overturned in flames 
    Em                          Am 
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck 
         D                  D7         (D/D/D/D7) 
With his dying breath, they heard him say
[Chorus]
G 
Tell Laura I love her 
             Am 
Tell Laura I need her 
           G 
Tell Laura not to cry 
   Am           D           G 
My love for her  will never die
[Verse]
    G                   C 
Now in the chapel where Laura prays  
    G                   C 
For her poor Tommy, who passed away 
Em                       Am 
It was just for Laura he lived and died 
 D                          D7          (D/D/D/D7) 
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
[Chorus]
G 
Tell Laura I love her 
             Am 
Tell Laura I need her 
           G 
Tell Laura not to cry 
   Am           D           G 
My love for her  will never die
[Outro]
G 
Tell Laura I love her 
G 
Tell Laura I love her .. .
