I've gotta get a message to you

       C Dm 
       The preacher talked to me and he smiled 
       G7 
       Said " come and walk with me 
       C 
       Come and walk one more mile" 
       Dm 
       Now for once in your life, you're alone 
       G7 
       But you ain't got a time 
       A7 
       There's no time for a phone 

       D Em 
       I've just gotta get a message to you 
       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 

       C Dm 
       I told him I'm in no hurry 
       G7 
       But if I broke her heart 
       C 
       Then won't you tell her, I'm sorry 
       Dm 
       And for once in my life, I'm alone 
       G 
       And I gotta let her know 
       A7 
       Just in time before I go 
       (repeat *) 
       C Dm 
       Well, I laughed but that didn't hurt 
       G 
       And it's only her love 
       C 
       That keep me wearing this dirt 
       Dm 
       Now I'm crying, but deep down inside 
       G7 
       Well, I did it to him 
       A7 
       Now it's my turn to die 
       (repeat *)
