Bm            D F#           G
I could not pray, I felt so dog gone,
Bm               D             G       A7
Couldn’t get no witness but I did not know,
        Bm          D        F#
Then a voice in a whisper said
                      Gm
you’ve got to carry it on,

Chorus:
         D             Bm         D             Bm
And the news is gonna break, the news is gonna break
     D              A              D         G
The news is gonna break that I am here, whoa oh

Out along the way, I got so bogged down
I had some business there, I did not slow
And a boy in the world said you've gotta carry it on

Chorus

I'm not a messenger, I'm not the passenger
Got some business there, but you did not know
And the point of my visit, well, sir,
that's to carry me on

Chorus:
And the news is gonna break
The news is gonna break
Yeah, your noose is gonna break when
I am there, whoa

D  A/C# G D   A/C# G D   A/C#
No Paris,  no Nepal, no Barstow,
 C       Bm             G
wont be none of them at all,

No Congo, no Kish or Kishangargh,
no Memphis, it doesn’t matter who you are,

I'm on my way, I feel so doggone
Go 'bout your business, but you did not know
And the point, if there is one, well, sir,
that's to carry me on

Chorus:
And the news is gonna break
Your noose is gonna break
Yeah, the news is gonna break that I am here, whoa

The news is gonna break that I am here, whoa
And your noose is gonna break when I am there
