Verse 1:

             Bb                              Cm
        The preacher talked with me and he smiled
                 F                               Bb
        Said to come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile
                (Bb)                       Cm
        Now for once in your life you're alone
                 F
        But you ain't got a dime
                    G
        There's no time for the phone

                   C                     Dm
        I've just gotta get a message to you
             F    G       C
        Hold on,     hold on
                  C                         Dm
        One more hour and my life will be through
             F    G       C     [1, 2: F, to verse  3: A, to coda]
        Hold on,     hold on

Verse 2:

        I told him I'm in no hurry
        But if I broke her heart, then won't you tell her I'm sorry
        And for once in my life I'm alone
        And I gotta let her know
        Just in time before I go

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

        Well, I laughed but that didn't hurt
        And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt
        Now I'm crying, but deep down inside
        Well, I did it to him
        Now it's my turn to die

[repeat chorus]

Coda [key changes to D]:

         (A)       D                     Em
        I've just gotta get a message to her
             G    A       D
        Hold on,     hold on
                  D                         Em
        One more hour and my life will be through
             G    A       D
        Hold on,     hold on [fade]
