Tom: F
F
[Verse]
F B
Laura and Tommy were lovers.
F B
He wanted to give her everything.
Am B C C7
Flowers, presents, and most of all a wedding ring.
[Verse]
F B
He saw a sign for a stock-car race.
F B
A thousand dollar prize it read.
Am B
He couldn't get Laura on the phone,
C C7
so to her mother Tommy said.
[Chorus]
F Gm
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her.
F Gm
Tell Laura, I may be late, I have something to do,
C7 F
that cannot wait.
[Verse]
F B
He drove his car to the racing ground.
F B
He was the youngest driver there.
Am B
The crowd roared as they started the race.
C C7
Round the track they drove at a deadly pace.
[Verse]
F B
No-one knows what happened that day.
F B
How his car over-turned in flames.
Am B
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck,
C C7
with his dying breath, they heard him say.
[Chorus]
F Gm
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her.
F Gm
Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her
C7 F
will never die.
[Verse]
F B
Now in the chapel, where Laura prays,
F B
for her Tommy, who passed away.
Am B
It was just for Laura, he lived and died.
C C7
A-lone in the chapel she can hear him cry.
[Chorus]
F Gm
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her.
F Gm
Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her
C7 F
will never die.
[Outro] (Fade Out)
F
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her.
