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



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     [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]

	Hold on,     hold on

	          D                         Em

	One more hour and my life will be through

	     G    A       D

	Hold on,     hold on [fade]
