[Verse]
G D C G
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
G 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
G D G
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request.'
[Chorus]
G D C G
Let him sing me back home to the songs I used to hear
G D
Make my old memories come alive
G D C G
Please take me away and turn back the years
G D G
Sing Me Back Home before I die
[Instrumental]
G D C G
[Verse]
G D C G
I remember one Sunday morning a choir from off of the streets
G D
They came by to sing a few old gospel songs
G D C G
And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mammy sang.
G D G
Won't you sing it once before we move along?
[Chorus]
G D C G
Oh, won't you sing me back home? With the songs I used to hear
G D
Make my old memories come alive
G D C G
Please, take me away and turn back the years
G D G
Sing me back home before I die
G D G
Oh, won't you sing me back home before I die?
[Outro]
