TELL LAURA  (Ray Peterson)

 
G                       C      G                       C
  Laura and Tommy were lovers,   he wanted to give her everything:
Bm         C           D              
Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring!
G                      C             G                  C
  He saw a sign for a stockcar race, a thousand dollar prize it read. 
Bm                       C               D         
  He couldn't get Laura on the phone, so to her mother Tommy said:


G                                     Am 
  Tell Laura I love her tell Laura I need her 
              G     Em        Am             D7              G
Tell Laura I may be late I've something to do   that cannot wait


G                          C             G                      C
  He drove his car to the racing grounds,  he was the youngest driver there.
Bm                           C                             D
   The crowd roared as they started the race, 'round the track they drove at a deadly pace!
G                    C                G                   C
  No one knows what happend that day,   how his car over turned in flames,
Bm                                  C                       D
   but as they pulled him from the twisted wreck, with his dying breath they heard him say:


G                                     Am
  Tell Laura I love her tell Laura I need her 
            G     Em      Am           D7             G   
Tell Laura not to cry. My love for her    will never die 


G                    C          G                    C
  Now in the chapel Laura prays   for her Tommy who passed away.
        Bm                C              D                      
It was just for Laura he lived and died, alone in the capel she can hear him cry.


G                                     Am
  Tell Laura I love her tell Laura I need her 
            G     Em      Am           D7             G   
Tell Laura not to cry. My love for her    will never die
G
 Tell Laura I love her...
