Tell Laura I Love Her Ray Peterson
1. Laur[G]a and Tommy were lovers, [C]
he wante[G]d to give her everything, [C]
f[Em]lowers, pr[Am]esents, and most of [D]all a wedding-ring[D7].
2. [G] He saw a sign for a stock-car rac[C]e,
[G] a thousand dollar prize it re[C]ad.
He coul[Em]dn` t get Laura on the ph[Am]one,
so to[D] her mother Tommy said[D7].
[G] Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her, [Am]
tell Laura, I may be [G]late, I`ve got something to d[Am]o,
[D] that cannot wait. [G]
3.[G] He drove his car to the racing ground[C],
[G] he was the youngest driver there. [C]
The crow[Em]d roared as they started the ra[Am]ce,
round the track the[D]y drove at a deadly pace. [D7]
4[G]. No-one knows what happened that d[C]ay,
[G] how his car overturned i[C]n flames.
But as[Em] they pulled him from the twisted wreck, [Am]
with his dying [D]breath they heard him say. [D7]
[G] Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her, [Am]
tell Laura not to[G] cry, my love[Am] for her will neve[D]r die. [G]
5.[G] Now in the chapel Laura prays, [C]
[G] for her Tommy who passed away, [C]
it was jus[Em]t for Laura he lived an[Am]d died,
alo[D]ne in the chapel she can hear him cry. +[D7] Chorus
