[First Part]

             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

[Chorus]

                   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    F
        Hold on,     hold on

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

                   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     F
        Hold on,     hold on

[Terceira Parte]

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

[Chorus]

        Hold on,     hold on
