Richard Shindell - Sing Me Back Home
G D C G
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
D
I got 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:
D C G
Let him 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
D G
Sing Me Back Home before I die
D C G
I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from along the street
D
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
G D C G
And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang.
D G
Could you sing it once before we move along?"
CHORUS:
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
D G
Sing Me Back Home before I die
INSTRUMENTAL: (same as Chorus)
CHORUS:
D C G
Won't you 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
D G
Sing Me Back Home before I die
D C G
Sing Me Back Home before I die___
