VERSE 1:

A                   D
Laura and Tommy were lovers.
  A                 D         
He wanted to give her everything.
C#m     D            E              E7          
Flowers, presents, and most of all   a wedding ring.

VERSE 2:

A                    D             
  He saw a sign for a stock-car race.
A                  D
  A thousand dollar prize it read.
  C#m               D
He couldn't get Laura on the phone,
  E            E7         
so to her mother Tommy said.

CHORUS:

A              ./.      ./.              Bm      
  Tell Laura, I love her,     tell Laura, I need her.
./.              A                  Bm             
    Tell Laura, I may be late, I have something to do,
E7            A     ./.    
   that cannot wait.

VERSE 3:

A                        D            
  He drove his car to the racing ground.
A                    D           
  He was the youngest driver there.
   C#m                 D
The crowd roared as they started the race.
         E                    E7         
Round the track they drove at a deadly pace.

VERSE 4:

A                  D                
  No-one knows what happened that day.
A                 D
  How his car over-turned in flames.
   C#m                        D
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck,
        E                 E7           
with his dying breath, they heard him say.

CHORUS:

A              ./.      ./.              Bm      
  Tell Laura, I love her,     tell Laura, I need her.
./.           A             Bm          
    Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her
E7           A     ./.   
   will never die.

VERSE 5:

A                         D          
  Now in the chapel, where Laura prays,
A                   D
  for her Tommy, who passed away.
      C#m               D
It was just for Laura, he lived and died.
 E                         E7          
A-lone in the chapel she can hear him cry.

CHORUS:

A              ./.     ./.              Bm      
  Tell Laura, I love her,    tell Laura, I need her.
./.           A             Bm          
    Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her
E7           A     ./.   
   will never die.

OUTRO (Fade Out):

A              ./.     ./.             ./.     
  Tell Laura, I love her,   tell Laura, I need her.
