Intro:
E


Verse:
    E              B                 A              E
The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom
                                        B
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
      E                  B             A                  E
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
                       B              E
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request'


Chorus:
        E            B           A              E
Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
                           B
Make my old memories come alive
E        B       A             E
Take me away and turn back the years
             B             E
Sing me back home before I die

Verse 2:
    E                B          A                  E
I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the street
                              B
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
      E                  B                   A            E
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang
                        B               E
Could I hear it once be-fore you move a-long?'


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

Won't you sing me back home  the song I used to hear
                           B
Make my old memories come alive
E        B       A             E
Take me away and turn back the years,
             B             E
Sing me back home before I die
