Verse 1G
It was a wide spot out in the country
CG
Away from the lights of the city
G
Where an old time preacher pitched a raged old tent
FCD
Looked like it was a hundred years old
G
He started out preaching to none
CG
Pretty soon the crowd started gathering
GDGDG
And he preached the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road
G
I turned into a wild man
CG
Some people said I'd gone crazy
G
But all too soon came the harvest
FCD
Of the wild seeds that I had sown
G
I stumbled into the meeting
CG
I was looking like death warmed over
GDGDG
Then I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road
Chorus 1CFC
When they sang come ye sinners, lost and hopeless
GFED
Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows
G
It was something got a hold of me
C
Something got a hold halelluiah
GDGDG
When I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road
Verse 2G
It's still a wide spot out in the country
CG
Away from the lights of the city
G
I pitched that old tent that he gave me
FCD
The day he died and went home
G
Some times I start preaching to none
CG
Pretty soon the crowd starts gathering
GDGDG
And I preach the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road
Chorus 2CFC
And we sang come ye sinners, lost and hopeless
G F,ED
Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows
G
It was something got a hold of me
C
Something got a hold halelluiah
GDGDG
When I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road
Chorus 3CFC
And we sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless
G F,ED
Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows
G
It was something got a hold of me
C
Something got a hold halelluiah
GDGDG
When I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road
GDGDG
When I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and new hope road
