Suppertime Chords by Merle Haggard

[Eb] _ [Ab] Many years ago, [Eb] in days of childhood, _ [Bb] I used to play till [Eb] the evening sun would come. _
Then winding [Ab] down an old [Eb] familiar pathway, _
_ [Bb] I heard my mother call, that [Eb] set of sun.
[Ab] Come home, come home, [Eb] it's supper time. _
[Bb] The shadows leave, [Eb] and fast. _ _
[Bbm] [Ab] Come home, come home, [Eb] it's supper time. _
[Bb] We're going [Eb] home at last.
[G] _ [Ab] _ Some of my fondest memories of [Eb] my childhood were woven around supper time.
_ [Bb] _ When my mother used to call from the back [Eb] steps of our old home place, _
[Ab] she'd say, come home son, it's supper time.
[Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] Oh, what I'd give to hear that one more time.
_ [Eb] _ _
But you know, [Ab] time is woven a realization of truth [Eb] that's even more thrilling. _
[Bb] And that's when we hear that call from the portals of glory to [Eb] come home for supper time. _
_ [Ab] When all of God's children gather around [Eb] the table with the Lord himself, _
_ [Bb] and we celebrate the greatest supper time of all.
[Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] Come home, come home, [Eb] it's supper time. _
[Bb] The shadows [Eb] leave, and fast. _
[Fm] [Ab] Come home, come home, [Eb] it's supper time. _
[Bb] We're going home _
