G                D                 C              G 
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom 
G                                        D 
I got up up to say good-bye like all the rest 
      G                  D           C                    G 
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell 
G                      D           G 
Let my guitar playing friend do my request 
G                 D                C              G 
Won't you Sing me back home with a song I used to hear 
G                          D 
Make my old memories come alive 
G       D        C             G 
Take me away and turn back the years 
G            D             G 
Sing Me Back Home before I die 

  A                  E              D                  A 
I recall last Sunday morning when a choir came in from town 
                                    E 
And got up to sing a few old gospel songs 
       A                  E                  D            A 
Then I heard him tell the singers  there's a song my mama sang. 
                            E              A 
Would you sing it just once before we move along 
A                 E                D              A 
Won't you Sing me back home with a song I used to hear 
A                          E 
Make my old memories come alive 
A       E         D             A 
Take me away and turn back the years 
A            E             A 
Sing Me Back Home before I die
