Intro D 

    D            A                 G                   D 
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom 
D                                            A  
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest  
      D                  A             G                       D   
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell  
                              A               D      
'Let my guitar playing friend  do my request'  

        D                 A       G              D 
Let him sing me back home  with a song I used to hear 
                           A 
Make my old memories come alive 
D            A   G                   D 
Take me away and turn back the years  
                  A         D

    D                A          G                         D 
I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the street  
                              A 
Came to sing a few old gospel songs 
      D                  A                   G            D 
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang 
                       A              D 
Could I hear it once before you move along?' 

D                  A   G              D 
Sing me back home, the song I used to hear 
                           A 
Make my old memories come alive 
D            A   G                   D 
Take me away and turn back the years  
        D/F# G    A        D 
Sing me back home before I die

         D                 A   G              D 
Want you sing me back home the song I used to hear 
                           A 
Make my old memories come alive 
D            A   G                   D  
Take me away and turn back the years  
     D/F#    G    A        D  
Sing me back home before I die
