Intro D D A G D The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom D A I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest D A G D And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell A D 'Let my guitar playing friend do my request' D A G D Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear A Make my old memories come alive D A G D Take me away and turn back the years A D Sing me back home before I die D A G D I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the street A Came to sing a few old gospel songs D A G D And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang A D Could I hear it once before you move along?' D A G D Sing me back home, the song I used to hear A Make my old memories come alive D A G D Take me away and turn back the years D/F# G A D Sing me back home before I die Solo D A G D A D A G D A D A G D Want you sing me back home the song I used to hear A Make my old memories come alive D A G D Take me away and turn back the years D/F# G A D Sing me back home before I die
