LYRICS
Lau ra and Tom my were (Eb)lov ers;
he (Bb)want ed to give her (Eb)ev ’ry thing:
(Dm)Flow ers,
(Eb)pres ents,
and (F)most of all, a wed ding ring!
He saw a sign for a (Eb)stock car race;
a thou sand dol lar (Eb)prize, it read.
He (Dm)could n't get Lau ra (Eb)on the phone, so (F)to her moth er Tom my said:
“Tell Lau ra I love her!
Tell Lau ra I (Cm)need her!
Tell Lau ra I (Bb)may be late, I’ve (Eb6)some thing to do
that (F7)can not (Bb)wait.”
He drove his car to the (Eb)rac ing grounds;
he was the young est (Eb)driv er there.
The crowd roared as they (Eb)start ed the race; ’round the (F)track they drove at a dead ly pace!
No one knows what (Eb)hap pened that day,
how his car o ver (Eb)turned in flames, but (Dm)as they pulled him from the (Eb)twist ed wreck, with his (F)dy ing breath, they heard him say:
“Tell Lau ra I love her!
Tell Lau ra I (Cm)need her!
Tell Lau ra (Bb)not to cry, my (Eb6)love for her
will (F7)nev er (Bb)die!”
Now, in the chap el (Eb)Lau ra prays
for her Tom my who (Eb)passed a way.
It was (Dm)just for Lau ra he (Eb)lived and died; a (F)lone in the chap el she can hear him cry:
