Suppertime

E  A


[Verse 1]
A           D             A
Many years ago in days of childhood
  E                                      A
I used to play untill evening time would come
     A               D            A
Then winding down an old familiar pathway
  E                              A
I hear my mother call at setting sun


[Chorus]
     D                         A
Come home come home it's suppertime
    E                A   A7
The shadows lengthen fast
     D                         A
Come home come home it's suppertime
      E             A
We're going home at last


[Verse a]
A                                  D                    A
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood are woven around suppertime
                    E
When mother used to call from the backsteps of the old homeplace
         A
"Come on home now son, it's suppertime"
                                         D            A
My how I'd love to hear that once again. But you know time has woven for me a realization
                       E
Of a truth that's even more thrilling.
                                    A
That soon we'll be called together around the great supper table up there
                 D
For the greatest suppertime of them all with our Lord
A                                                   E
  I can almost hear the call now coming through the portals of heaven
                     A
"Come home son, it's suppertime"


[Chorus]
     D                         A
Come home come home it's suppertime
    E                A   A7
The shadows lengthen fast
     D                         A
Come home come home it's suppertime
      E             A
We're going home at last
