Verse:
  E       B         A       E
The warden led the prisoner down the hallway to his doom
                    B
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
   E         B       A         E
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
            B       E
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request'

Chorus:
    E      B      A       E
Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
              B
Make my old memories come alive
E    B    A       E
Take me away and turn back the years
       B       E
Sing me back home before I die


Verse 2:
  E        B     A         E
I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the street
               B
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
   E         B          A      E
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang
            B        E
Could I hear it once be-fore you move a-long?'

E      B      A       E

Take me away and turn back the years

Sing me back home before I die

Sing me back home before I die
