Chords for Ray Peterson - Tell Laura I Love Her (RCA 1960) (Lyrics)

_ _ _ Laura [F] and Tommy were lovers, [Eb] _ _ he wanted [Bbm] to give her [Eb] everything. _
_ [Dm] Flowers, _ _ [Eb] presents, and most [F] of all, a wedding ring. _
_ [Bb] He saw a sign for [Eb] a stock car race, _ [Bb] a thousand dollar [Eb] prize it read. _
[Dm] He couldn't get [Eb] Laura on the phone, [F] so to her mother Tommy said,
[Bb] _ Tell Laura _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] I need her, _ tell Laura [Bb] I'll be late, [Eb] I've something to do _ that cannot [Bb] _ wait. _ _ _ _ _
He drove his car to [Eb] the racing ground, _
[Bb] _ he was the youngest [Eb] driver there. _
[Dm] The crowd roared [Eb] as they started the race, round [F] the track they drove at a deadly pace. _
[Bb] No one knows [Eb] what happened that day, _
[Bb] how his car [Eb] overturned in flames,
[Dm] but as they pulled him from [Eb] the twisted wreck, with [F] his dying breath, they heard him say, _
[Bb] _ Tell Laura, _ _ _ _ _ tell Laura [Cm] I need her, _ _ tell Laura [Bb] _ _ it's [Eb] my love for _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ me. _ _
_ Now in the [Eb] chapel, where Laura [Bb] prays, for her Tommy [Eb] who passed away,
[Dm] it was just for Laura, [Eb] he lived and died, [F] alone in the chapel she can hear him cry,
[Bb] _ Tell Laura _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] I need her,
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
