CAPO 5
[Intro]
G C G
[Verse]
G C G
Mama, I hear you calling tonight
G C G
Your old song, calling me in for the night
G C G
In the tall grass, down from the trees where I've climbed
G C G
The day is gone, the birds sing their last songs in the pines
C Am
I hear your voice calling by the back door light
G C Em
It reaches as far as I roam
C G/F# G
It's calling me all the way home
[Verse]
G C G
Mama, the darkness is falling so fast
G C G
Somehow, I thought the day would always last
G C G
And I am afraid as I walk alone in the night
G C G
Following the sound of your voice by the light
C Am
Your sweet voice is calling by the back door light
G C Em
It reaches as far as I roam
C G/F# Em
It's calling me all the way home
C G/F# Em
It's calling me all the way home
C G/F# G
Calling me all the way home
[Outro]
G C G
Mama, the night is so long and so deep
G C G
Won't you stay a while, stay with me here till I sleep
