4^G. No-one knows what happened that d^Cay, ^G how his car overturned i^Cn flames. But as^Em they pulled him from the twisted wreck, ^Am with his dying ^Dbreath they heard him say. ^D7

^G Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her, ^Am tell Laura not to^G cry, my love^Am for her will neve^Dr die. ^G

5.^G Now in the chapel Laura prays, ^{C G} for her Tommy who passed away, ^C it was jus^Emt for Laura he lived an^Amd died, alo^Dne in the chapel she can hear him cry. +^D7 Chorus
