Sing Me Back Home - Merle Haggard
[Verse 1]
C G F C
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
C G
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
C G F C
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
C G C
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request.' (Let him...)
|Chorus]
|C G F C
| Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
|C G
| Make my old memories come alive
|C G F C
| Take me away and turn back the years
|C G C
| Sing me back home before I die
[Verse 2]
C G F C
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the street
C G
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
C G F C
And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang.
C G C
Could I hear it once before you move along?' (Won't you...)
|[Chorus]
|C G F C
| Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
|C G
| Make my old memories come alive
|C G F C
| Take me away and turn back the years
|C G C
| Sing me back home before I die
