You can play the chords elsewhere if you like. This is just the way I do it.
A#/Bb D#/Eb
Laura and Tommy were lovers
D#/Eb
He wanted to give her everything
Dm D#/Eb F F
Flowers, presents, and most of all a wedding ring
A#/Bb D#/Eb
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A#/Bb D#/Eb
A thousand dollar prize, it read
Dm D#/Eb
He couldn't get Laura on the phone,
F F
So to her mother Tommy said,
A#/Bb
Tell Laura i love her
A#/Bb Cm
Tell Laura i need her
Cm A#/Bb
Tell Laura I may be late
D#/Eb
I've something to do... that cannot wait
A#/Bb D#/Eb
He drove his car to the racing ground
A#/Bb D#/Eb
He was the youngest driver there
Dm D#/Eb
And the crowd roared as they started the race
F F
'Round the track, they drove at a deadly pace
A#/Bb D#/Eb
No one knows what happened that day
A#/Bb D#/Eb
How his car overturned in flames
Dm D#/Eb
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
F F
With his dying breath, they heard him say
A#/Bb
Tell Laura i love her
A#/Bb Cm
Tell Laura i need her
Cm A#/Bb
Tell Laura not to cry
D#/Eb
My love for her will never die
A#/Bb D#/Eb
And in the chapel where Laura prays
A#/Bb D#/Eb
For her Tommy who passed away
Dm D#/Eb
It was just for Laura, he lived and died
F F
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
A#/Bb
Tell Laura i love her
A#/Bb Cm
Tell Laura i need her
Cm A#/Bb
Tell Laura not to cry
D#/Eb
My love for her will never die
