Sing Me Back Home

    A            E                 D              A
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
       A                                E
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
      A                  E              D                 A
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
        A              E               A
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request.' (Let him...)


[Chorus]

A            E           D              A
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
A                          E
Make my old memories come alive
A        E       D             A
Take me away and turn back the years
A            E             A
Sing me back home before I die


[Verse]

      A              E            D               A
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the street
     A                             E
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
      A                   E                 D            A
And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang.
        A              E               A
Could I hear it once before you move along?' (Won't you...)


[Chorus]

A            E           D              A
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
A                          E
Make my old memories come alive
A        E       D             A
Take me away and turn back the years
A            E             A
Sing me back home before I die

A            E             D    A
Sing me back home before I die
