CAPO 5

Intro:
G  C  G

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

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

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