[Verse]

    A              E
The warden led the prisoner
         D              A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
Down the hallway to his doom
   A                  Asus4   
I stood up to say goodbye like 
        E   B7 E7
All the rest
      A                  E
And I heard him tell the warden
       D                    A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
Just before they reached my cell
          A           
Let my guitar playin' 
E7               A     A E
Friend sing my request
 
 
[Chorus]

A            E      D   
Sing me back home a song 
          A    Asus4 A Asus2 A
I used to hear
A           A              E    B7    E7
Make my old memories come alive
A        E       D    
Sing me away and turn 
         A    Asus4  A  Asus2 
back the year
A            E      E7  
Sing me back home before  
  A   Asus4  A  Asus2 A
I die
 
 
[Verse]

    A                E
I recall last Sunday morning
         D         
When the choir from 
         A      Asus4 A Asus2 A   
Off the street
     A            Asus4          E    B7    E7
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
      A                  E
And I heard him tell the singers
          D              A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
There's a song my mother sang
        A              E    
Could I hear it once before 
    E7     A   A  E
You travel on
 
 
[Chorus]

A            E      D    
Sing me back home a song 
          A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
I used to hear
A           A              E    
Make my old memories come alive,
B7     E7
 Come alive
A        E       D    
Sing me away and turn 
         A   Asus4  A   Asus2  A
Back the year
A            E      E7   
Sing me back home before 
   A  Asus4  A  Asus2  A  A  E
I die
