CAPO 5

Intro:
G+G C majorC G+G

Verse:
G+G   C majorC         G+G
Mama, I hear you calling tonight
G+G       C majorC           G+G
Your old song, calling me in for the night
    G+G      C majorC               G+G
In the tall grass, down from the trees where I've climbed
  G+G           C majorC              G+G
The day is gone, the birds sing their last songs in the pines
 C majorC               A minorAm
I hear your voice calling by the back door light
  G+G     C majorC    E minorEm
It reaches as far as I roam
   C majorC     G/F#    G+G
It's calling me all the way home

Verse:
G+G     C majorC           G+G
Mama, the darkness is falling so fast
G+G     C majorC              G+G
Somehow, I thought the day would always last
G+G         C majorC          G+G
And I am afraid as I walk alone in the night
G+G       C majorC             G+G
Following the sound of your voice by the light
   C majorC               A minorAm
Your sweet voice is calling by the back door light
  G+G     C majorC    E minorEm
It reaches as far as I roam
   C majorC     G/F#     E minorEm
It's calling me all the way home
   C majorC     G/F#    E minorEm
It's calling me all the way home
C majorC     G/F#    G+G
Calling me all the way home

Outro:
G+G     C majorC            G+G
Mama, the night is so long and so deep
     G+G       C majorC            G+G
Won't you stay a while, stay with me here till I sleep
