BmDF#G
I could not pray, I felt so dog gone,
BmDGA7
Couldn’t get no witness but I did not know
BmDF#Gm
Then a voice in a whisper said you’ve got to carry it on
DBmDBm
And the news is gonna break, the news is gonna break,
DADG
The news is gonna break that I am here, whoa oh
[Verse 2]
BmDF#G
Out along the way I got so bogged down,
BmDGA7
I had some business there I did not slow,
BmDF#Gm
And a boy in the world said you’ve got to carry it on,
[Chorus]
DBmDBm
And the news is gonna break, the news is gonna break,
DADG
The news is gonna break that I am here, whoa oh
[verse 3}
BmDF#G
I’m not a messenger, I’m not the passenger
BmDGA7
Got some business there but you did not know,
BmDF#Gm
And the point of my visit, well, sir, that’s to carry me on,
DBmDBm
And the news is gonna break, and the news is gonna break,
DADG
Yeah, your noose is gonna break when I am there, whoa oh
[Bridge]
DAGDAGDACBmG
No Paris, no Nepal, no Barstow, wont be none of them at all,
DAG/DAG/DACBmG
No Congo, no Kish or Kishangargh, no Memphis, it doesn’t matter who you are,
[Verse 4]
BmDF#G
I’m on my way, I feel so dog gone,
BmDGA7
Go ‘bout your business but you did not know,
BmDF#Gm
And the point if there is one, well, sir, that’s to carry me on,
[Final Chorus]
DBmDBm
And the news is gonna break (your noose is gonna break),
DADG
The news is gonna break that I am here, whoa oh
DADG
The news is gonna break that I am here, whoa oh
DADGAD
And your noose is gonna break when I am here
No Congo, no Kish or Kishangargh, no Memphis
