[Verse]
   D            A                 G                    D
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
                                             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'


[Chorus]
        D              A        G             D
Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hearas
                           A
Make my old memories come aliveio
D            A   G                D
Take me away and turn back the years ,-u
                  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 be-fore you move a-long?'


[Chorus]
D                A     G              D
Sing me back home,  the song I used to hear
                           A
Make my old memories come aliveio
D            A      G              D
Take me away and turn back the years,-u
D       G         A         D
Sing me back  home before I die

   D            A             G                    D
Want you sing me back home  the song I used to hear
                           A
Make my old memories come aliveio
D            A       G                D
Take me away and turn back the years,-u
D       G         A         D
