[Verse 1]
G C G
Many years ago in days of childhood
D7 G
I used to play till evenin' shadows come
C G
Then windin' down that old familiar pathway
D7 G
I'd hear my mother call at set of sun
[Chorus 1]
C G
Come home, come home it's suppertime
D7 G
The shadows lengthen fast
C G
Come home, come home it's suppertime
D7 G
We're going home at last
[Talking verses,play the same chords]
G C G
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
D7 G
Were woven around supper time
C G
When my mother used to call
D7 G
From the backsteps of the old homeplace
D7 G
"Come on home now son, it's supper time"
G C G
Ah, but I'd love to hear that again
D7 G
But you know for me time has woven the realization of
C G
The truth that's even more thrilling and that's when
D7 G
The call come up from the portals of glory
D7 G
To come home, for it's supper time
G C G
When all of God's children
D7 G
Shall gather around the table
C G
Of the Lord himself
D7 G
And the greatest supper time of them all
[Chorus 2]
C G
Come home, come home it's suppertime
D7 G
The shadows lengthen fast
C G
Come home, come home it's suppertime
D7 G
We're going home at last
