x[Verse 1]
G D C G
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
D
I stood 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
D G
Let my guitar playing friend do my request.
[Chorus]
G D C G
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
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
[Verse 2]
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from 'cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang.
Can I hear once before we move along?'
[Chorus]
G D C G
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
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
