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