A5            E5                 D5              A5
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
A5                                       E5
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
      A5                  E5              D5                 A5
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
A5                      E5               A5
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request.' (Let him...)
       A5            E5           D5              A5
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
A5                          E5
Make my old memories come alive
A5        E5       D5             A5
Take me away and turn back the years
A5            E5             A5
Sing Me Back Home before I die     I recall last Sunday morning a choir came in from town

Just to sing a few old gospel song

And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang.

Can I hear once before we move along?'

CHORUS
A5            E5             D5 - A5
Sing Me Back Home before I die
