Sing Me Back Home

G D C G 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.' 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 G D C G 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? 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? G C D G
