Tell Laura I Love Her

F

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
