[Verse 1]
A A7 D
When the prodigal son returned home again
A E
no shoes on his feet, all battered by sin,
A A7 D
his father looked down that long dusty road
A E A
he brought him a ring with the very best robe.
[Chorus]
A7 D A
"So go kill the calf" his father did say,
B7 E E7
"There's plenty to eat, the table is spread.
A A7 D
My son who was lost is back home again,
A E A
for he has grown tired of living in sin."
[Verse 2]
A A7 D
I'll say to my father, "I'm not worthy you see,
A E
please let me come home, I'll be a servant for thee,
A A7 D
I've lost all I have, I'm hungry and cold."
A E A
And he said "My son, welcome back to the fold."
[Chorus]
A7 D A
"So go kill the calf" his father did say,
B7 E E7
"There's plenty to eat, the table is spread.
