1.The [Bb] preacher talked with me and he [Cm] smiled
Said [F] “come and walk with me
Come and [Bb] walk one more mile”
Now for once in your life you’re [Cm] alone
But you [F] ain’t got a dime
There’s no [G] time for the phone
Chorus:
I’ve just [C] gotta get a message to [Dm] you
Hold [F] on, [G] hold [C] on
One more [C] hour and my life will be [Dm] through
Hold [F] on, [G] hold [C] on [F]
2. I told [Bb] him “I’m in no [Cm] hurry”
But if [F] I broke her heart
Then won’t you [Bb] tell her I’m sorry”
And for once in my life I’m [Cm] alone
And i’ve [F] gotta let her know
Just in [G] time before I go
3. Well I [Bb] laughed but that didn’t [Cm] hurt
And it’s [F] only her love
That keeps me [Bb] wearing this dirt
Now I’m crying but deep down [Cm] inside
Well I [F] did it to him
Now it’s [G] my turn to die
——— Chorus # 1 tone up
[A] I’ve just [D] gotta get a message to [Em] you
Hold [G] on, [A] hold [D] on
One more [D] hour and my life will be [Em] through
Hold [G] on, [A] hold [D] on
