[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A E D A
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
E7
And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
A E D A
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
E A
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request'
[Chorus]
A E D A
'Let him sing me back home the song I used to hear
E
Make my old memories come alive
A E D A
Take me away and turn back the years
E7 A
Sing me back home before I die'
[Lap Steel Solo]
A E A
[Verse 2]
A E D A
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from of the street
E7
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
A E D A
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang
E A
Could I hear once before you move along?'
[Chorus]
A E D A
Won't you sing me back home the song I used to hear
A
Make my old memories come alive
A E D A
Take me away and turn back the years
E7 A
Sing me back home before I die
E7 A
Sing me back home before I die"
