It was a wide spot out in the country
     B                      F#
Away from the lights of the city
F#
Where an old time preacher pitched a raged old tent
       E             B             C#
Looked like it was a hundred years old
   F#
He started out preaching to no one
           B                                   F#
Pretty soon the crowd started gathering
F#                                                   
And he preached the gospel at the corner of

heartbreak ridge and newhope road
F#
I turned into a wild man
          B               F#
Some people said I'd gone crazy
F#
But all too soon came the harvest
            E                   B          C#
Of the wild seeds that I had sown
F#
I stumbled into the meeting
          B                                         F#
I was looking like death warmed over
F#                                                  
Then I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak

[Verse 2]
F#
It's still a wide spot out in the country
B                           F#
Away from the lights of the city
F#
I pitched that old tent that he gave me
E                  B     C#
The day he died and went home
F#
Some times I start preaching to noone
B                            F#
Pretty soon the crowd starts gathering
F#                                                  
And I preach the gospel at the corner of heartbreak
