Tell Laura I Love Her

G               C
Tommy and Laura were lovers
   G                  C
He wanted to give her everything
Em      Am           D7
Flowers presents and most of all a wedding ring

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
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 something to do
D7          G
That cannot wait

                        C
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
          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 in flames
    Em                          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

                  C
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
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
