[G] [A]
The ward [E] led a prisoner [D] down the hallway to [A] his doom.
I stood up to say goodbye like [E] all the rest.
[A] And I heard him tell the [E] warden [D] just before he reached [A] my cell.
Let my guitar [E] playing friend do my [A] request.
Let him send me [E] back home.
The [D] song I used [A] to hear make my old memories [E] alive.
And [A] take me [E] away [D] and turn [A] back the years.
Send me [E] back home before [A] I die.
I recall [E] last Sunday morning a [D] choir from [A] off the streets
came in to sing a few [E] old gospel songs.
[A] And I heard him tell [E] the singers there's [D] a song [A] my mama sang.
Could I hear it once [E] before you [A] move along?
Let him send me [E] back home.
[D] The song I used [A] to hear make my old memories come [E] alive.
[A] And take me [E] away [D] and turn [A] back the years.
Send me [E] back home before [A] I die.
