All right, this one's for you, Merle.
[G] A warden [D] led a prisoner [C] down the hallway to [G] his doom.
I stood up to say goodbye like [D] all the rest.
[G] Then I heard him tell [D] the [G] warden, just [C]
before he reached [G] my cell,
that my guitar playing [D] friend knew my [G]
request.
Let him sing me [D] back home [G] [C] a song I used [G] to hear,
and make my old memories come [D]
alive.
[G] And take me away, [G] [C] and turn back [G] the years,
and sing me [D] back home before [G] I die.
I recall last [D] Sunday morning [B] [C] when a choir from off [G] the street
came in to sing a few old [D] gospel songs.
And I heard him tell the singers, [G] there's [C] a song my [G] mama sang.
Could I hear it once before [D] you move along?
Let him sing me [D] back home [C] a song I used [G] to hear,
and make my old memories come [D] alive.
[G] And take me [D] away, [C] and turn back [G] the years,
and sing me back [D] home before I [G]
die.
Yeah, let him sing me [D] back home before [G] I die.
