Bb/Bb                           Eb/Eb
     Laura and Tommy were lovers

                      Eb/Eb
He wanted to give her everything

       Dm      Eb/Eb            F       F
Flowers, presents, and most of all a wedding ring




Bb/Bb               Eb/Eb
He saw a sign for a stock car race

Bb/Bb             Eb/Eb
A thousand dollar prize, it read

Dm                    Eb/Eb

So to her mother Tommy said,

He drove his car to the racing ground

He was the youngest driver there

        Dm                   Eb/Eb   
And the crowd roared as they started the race

           F                      F
'Round the track, they drove at a deadly pace




Bb/Bb             Eb/Eb
No one knows what happened that day

Bb/Bb           Eb/Eb
How his car overturned in flames

     Dm                         Eb/Eb 
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck

With his dying breath, they heard him say

And in the chapel where Laura prays

Bb/Bb             Eb/Eb
For her Tommy who passed away

        Dm                   Eb/Eb   
It was just for Laura, he lived and died

Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
