1. The preacher taunted me and he smiled,
            D                               G
    said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile.
                                      Am
    Now for once in your life you're alone,
             D                            E
    but you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone."
           A                     Bm         D - E       A
I've just gotta get a message to you, hold on,    hold on.
                                     Bm           D - E       A - D
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on,    hold on.
  G                        Am
2.   I told him I'm in no hurry,
           D                             G
    but if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry.
                                  Am
    And for once in my life I'm alone,
              D                           E
    and I've got to let her know just in time before I go.

3. Well I laughed but that didn't work,
              D                            G
    and it's only her love that keeps me wearing this hurt.
                                     Am
    Now I'm crying, but deep down inside,
            D                       E
    well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die.
