Tell Laura I Love Her chords
Ray Peterson 1960 (Jeff Barry and Ben Raleigh)
Capo III
G
G C
Laura and Tommy were lovers
G C
He wanted to give her everything
Em Am D D7
Flowers, presents, and most of all, a wedding ring
G C
He saw a sign for a stock car race
G C
A thousand dollar prize it read
Em Am
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
D D7 (D/D/D/D7)
So to her mother, Tommy said
G
Tell Laura I love her
Am
Tell Laura I need her
G
Tell Laura I may be late
Am D G
I've something to do, that cannot wait
G C
He drove his car to the racing grounds
G C
He was the youngest driver there
Em Am
The crowed roared as they started the race
D D7 (D/D/D/D7)
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
G C
No one knows what happened that day
G C
Or how his car overturned in flames
Em Am
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
D D7 (D/D/D/D7)
With his dying breath, they heard him say
G
Tell Laura I love her
Am
Tell Laura I need her
G
Tell Laura not to cry
Am D G
My love for her will never die
G C
Now in the chapel where Laura prays
G C
For her poor Tommy, who passed away
Em Am
It was just for Laura he lived and died
D D7 (D/D/D/D7)
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
G
Tell Laura I love her
Am
Tell Laura I need her
G
Tell Laura not to cry
Am D G
My love for her will never die
G
Tell Laura I love her
G
Tell Laura I love her .. .
