This song is played with a blues kinda feel. [Verse 1]
Am            Am7/G              Dm/F E
Well ther's never been a walk so lonesome

       Am         Am7/G   Dm/F E
As the walk of a sinning man

         Am     Dm/F       Am      Dm/F
You can fake a smile, but all the while

              E            E7    E
There ain't nobody who'll understand

           Am    Am7/G       Dm/F E
That for every laugh you've laughed

              Am    Am7/G       Dm/F E
There was a dozen times you've cried

          Am     Dm/F       Am      Dm/F
And the prison you're in is made of bricks of sin

          E    E7         E
And you never know your inside
[Chorus]
Am
Who will pay the ransom

D
Who will pay the price

Am
Who's gonna pay for my freedom, O Lord

E
Who's gonna pay for my life

        Am
I was a poor sinner living in bondage

           D
Y'know it hurt so bad that I cried 

               Am                           E
But then the Lord paid the Ransom with the blood

         Am  Am7/G  Dm/F E
Of Jesus Christ
[Verse 2]
Am            Am7/G              Dm/F E
Well I know about the way of salvation

Am            Am7/G      Dm/F E
And I thank the Lord I'm saved

         Am     Dm/F       Am      Dm/F
I try to thank Him every night when I fall asleep

            E             E7        E
I try to thank Him at the break of day

Am            Am7/G              Dm/F E
A million dollars couldn't buy me salvation

Am            Am7/G              Dm/F E
I couldn't but it with the prayers I've prayed

         Am     Dm/F                   Am      Dm/F
But the Lord bought it for me with the blood of His son

               E          E7     E
And now He's taken all my sins away
[Chorus]
Am
Who will pay the ransom

D
Who will pay the price

Am
Who's gonna pay for my freedom, O Lord

E
Who's gonna pay for my life

        Am
I was a poor sinner living in bondage

           D
Y'know it hurt so bad that I cried

               Am                           E
But then the Lord paid the Ransom with the blood

         Am  Am7/G  Dm/F E
Of Jesus Christ
[Verse 3]
Am            Am7/G          Dm/F E
He was scourged with metal straps

Am            Am7/G           Dm/F E
'till His back was black with blood

        Am       Dm/F               Am        Dm/F
I saw streaks of red flow from the cuts on His head

            E                   E7        E
When they crowned Him with the crown of thorns

Am            Am7/G              Dm/F E
Then they hung him naked on a cross

Am            Am7/G              Dm/F E
They drove nails in His hands and feet

       Am          Dm/F              Am      Dm/F
I saw tears in His eyes 'til they pierced His side

            E             E7        E
And they left Him on the wood to bleed
[Chorus]
Am
Who will pay the ransom

D
Who will pay the price

Am
Who's gonna pay for my freedom, O Lord

E
Who's gonna pay for my life

        Am
I was a poor sinner living in bondage

           D
Y'know it hurt so bad that I cried

               Am                           E
But then the Lord paid the Ransom with the blood

         Am  Am7/G  Dm/F E
Of Jesus Christ
[Outro]
           Am       Am7/G      Dm/F E
Well they killed my Lord that Friday

       Am             Am7/G   Dm/F E
But I tell you what I know is true

Am     Am7/G    Dm/F E
Jesus gave His life

     Am          E      A
As a ransom for me and you
